That's nothing guys. I remember back before we had the wheel. It was a pain to get around. And don't get me started on the cuisine before we captured fire...
Seriously, I had a VIC 20 as a kid. My parents wouldn't buy me an Atari and I liked that you could at least get cartridge games for it. My dad tried to get me interested in BASIC, but I didn't like that you spent all this time writing a program, and it just went away when you turned off the computer. Later on my dad got a tape drive, but I seem to recall it took forever to store stuff and by that time I'd lost interest in everything but the video games.
