Old School Technology Meets Old School Classic Tunes

I remember the days of the Atari,the TRS-80 (affectionately called the TRaSh-80), the TI-99, large floppy disks and so forth.  My first computer was an old Apple ][ Plus with 48k of memory that my dad had purchased back in 1979, I spent many a night at age 9 writing my first text-based program in BASIC which I called ‘Tunnels and Trolls’. I never finished the game but I was forever hooked on computers from that time going forth.

As we progress through the computer and information age, we leave a lot of memories behind us and tend not to look back.  I recently ran across some great videos commemerating some of the old technology and putting it to…well…let’s just say it wasn’t the original intended use but it does the old technology justice.

Enjoy these classic old school tunes by classic old school technology.
