        My first video games. I was 8. I can still remember the feel of the video pinball buttons.

            For computers; definitely ABC 80 with a own coded Pac-Man & Space Invaders. I am almost sure that I have printed code somewhere in garage. So many years ago... 😎

                I fondly remember the 'Banana' bikes from the late 60's / early 70's. Here in Canada we all rode "Supercycles" that were the inexpensive store brand sold by 'Canadian Tire'. The pic I attach is just a banana bike I found on the web.

                  Ross, you brought back a vivid memory, the best Christmas I remember was the year I got a Raleigh Chopper 3 speed (The gear lever was definitely in wrong spot, I still have groin pains)

                    I learned to ride on a large bike with balloon tires but I remember a friend in the neighborhood was nearly emasculated on his Schwinn Apple Crate..

                      David,

                      I found this

                      while looking for something like this

                      I used the latter at university (late 60s, early 70s).

                      Kind regards,
                      Bob

                        Dear Bob,

                        Thank you. Those are very interesting. I think to make those work well, one must have a very good grasp of the mathematics you are trying to perform unlike electronic calculators today.
