The IBM PC (Model 5150) was released on August 12, 1981. It turned 30 today.
This is a little homage to the computer I grew up with. It was our household computer from 1981 until 1993. It is, as you can see, still working today.
This is the High Definition update to the half-hazard video I poster here:
For the real geeks out there, this machine has been heavily upgraded over the course of its lifetime. Gone are the two full-height floppy drives, replaced with half-height units and a half-height 20MB hard disk. It has 512KB of RAM installed in a full length ISA slot.
This machine ran applications like dBase III and Wordstar 2000. Games played on it included Sierra’s Space Quest and Accolade’s Test Drive, along with any number of text-mode games from BBSs run by dudes at the local high school.
This IBM PC never knew the Internet, but I think they’d get along just fine.
