When ah were a lad, we'd've given our back teeth to 'ave an Amstrad.  We used t'ave a Sinclair Zed Ex Spectrum, with forty-eight Kay of Memory, and a tape recorder. -- Senji

When ah were a lad, we didn't 'ave no fancy forty-eight kay, oh no, we made do with thirty-two kay and a small nut (Note: this belongs in CategoryAwfulPun, which may explain the reference) - ChrisHowlett, who still possesses the nut, and a BBC, and an Amiga 1500 with all the trimmings.

When ah wr a lad, we 'ad a nut ha' th' size o that there nut. An' a ZX81. But ma' beeb did ha' a disk drive. But ah did later get a Amstrad 5286-16

When ah were a lad, all we 'ad for memory were sixteen mercury tubes, each capable of storing 33 bits. (Okay, so I exaggerate - that was a bit before my time)

ZX-81, Bloody luxury! When I wer't lad, all I had were a ZX-80 (useful for holding doors open), and I were glad of it! Before that, I had to use an abacus, and I worked my fingers to the bone, I tell you. Etc. - Tsunami

Ay, all o' ye wi' ye fancy calculators.  When I were a lad, we only had an IBM 380Z, and we were grateful.  Had ooge greet floppy disk an almost no memory. --Jumlian.
