What was the first 'awesome' device that you owned

[bastosero]

Its funny how you can tell how old someone is by the device they deemed awsome. I remember when the original gameboy came out. It was huge, square, and didn't have color but I thought it was the coolest thing around.

we've had several models of TRS-80s, Intellivision, Ataris, NES, Sega... i inherited an AT&T 6300 (8086) from my dad as my first personal computer... but all of those toys were bought for the family or other reasons...

the first device, that I owned, that i worked to get myself, was an Atari Lynx. THAT thing was bad-assed. too bad it sucked through 6 AAs in about 2.5 hrs.

my next favorite device was a Compaq iPaq 3635. i used that thing for nearly 6 years before the battery and sync cable stopped working.

TRS-80 aka Tandy Color Computer from Radio Shack. Ah yes...the memories.

Ditto. That was the first thing I ever bought with my own money I think.

My pops was a Manager at Radio Shack for 10 years. All my birthday and xmas gifts came from there for years. Tandy 1000, police scanners, and remote control cars. I remember playing some stick figure football game on the Tandy that had to be booted from a floppy. Radio Shack was the mecca of electronics.l

Hmmm, my first AWESOME electronic device was a Magnavox Odyssey console. My mother worked for Phillips and we got a great deal on it (paper route $$$)

Had to love those plastic screen overlays! (it was balck and white)

The next really awesome device for my TRS-80 Model I with 4k of RAM (until I upgraded it)

The first time we purchased a microwave. Was amazing just warming or heating something up with so little time. I remember trying to heat every damm thing up in the kitchen, was truly amazing and ground breaking i thought at the time..... Kind of how i felt when i got the Droid and the bar code scanner. Ended up scanning every damm item with a barcode in the house! lmao

Mine was the Nintendo 64 rockin the James Bond Goldeneye game. I could still play that game all day.

A tough little Gamecube, survived a 2 story drop somehow, intact. Still plays games fine too.
Is it me, or did Nintendo build their old systems like tanks?

When the game did not load up on the NES, did anyone else blow on the bottom of the cartridge (and other magical tricks)before inserting into the NES? Seemed to always work 99.99% of the time.

Not on a nes cart but those gameboy cartridges? Sure have. Did a Metroid Fusion run in 59 minutes once too. Oh the pain of perfection.
