no, but we did have ramen for a few months because he wanted a shiny new ibm workstation

several times

really

lmao

my dad got out of audio/sold most of it before i was born i think lol

>Ramen for several months

Wished i had that dad

i'm not _that_ bad about it, i mean i'll spend money i really shouldn't on toold and computer stuff but i never go as far as he did, i never eat into my food budget for it

hey computer parts were more expensive then :^)

they sure fuckin were

some of it's expensive now

the old c64 still has a working sid

you know how hard it is to find a sid these days?

an actual full-features sid with the filters and everything

not a cheap semi-functional clone

i dont even know what a sid is

lol

the commodore 64 sound chip

people ripped em all out to make hipster synths a few years back

and nobody's made them since the 80s

gh i miss how weird computer stuff used to be sometimes

the hardest thing about building my current pc was stuffing it all into the case lol

even though it was a pain and sucked at the time there's just something about hardware actually being wildly different from machine to machine, even pc compatibles were that way for a good while

ye

Aso made things expensive and were usually lateral movements

it's part of why i'm lusting after so many non-x86 stuff, probably

like, if i could swing new server prices i'd get a thunderX box in a heartbeat

over a quad xeon box that one would usually get for same applications

i want that risc v devlopment board

only 1000$
