First computer - 286 with co-pro, two floppies. Couldn't afford the 20 MB hard drive. Tiko the brand maybe, can't remember. I guess around '84, I wrote my thesis in it. And printed, dot matrix nightmare for two days lol.
Split Enz, I recall a pretty wild show in the early days, late 70's - in a theatre in an arcade at the bottom of Queen Street - called Christmas Pandemonium iirc, a nod to Panto I guess....
Also this was pre Neil Finn by quite some time. Was probably still at school :)
Twin Floppies. That's what my parents worked on. As you probably know, my father wrote many books and plays. I now have the fun job of putting floppies into his old PC before it is consigned to recycling. Might have to dredge back my MSDOS skills!
Will check out Split Enz for sure! My first PC ran DOS and I remember playing games like Alley Cat. My next pc was one that my dad’s company sold him at a cheap rate: it had a Celeron processor and ran Win95. Good old days! Love your posts, Luigi!
Many thanks Nikhil. Neil Finn was a founder of Split Enz and later Crowded House. He joined Fleetwood Mac a couple of years ago. Left again recently to explore more opportunities.
