Those five-inch floppies are what started my lifetime learning of programming. Hopefully, you timed it just well enough to stop the ball over the ‘hole’ - a blank space in that row of # symbols. Hitting the spacebar for a second time would stop the ball. My uncle and I would play a golf game where you had to hit the spacebar to get the ball rolling- an symbol that slid across the ‘green’ which was a row of # symbols.
five-inch squares that you slid into the drive. I had to load the games onto the computer via big floppy disks. They brought this sucker home and I immediately started playing games. Both my aunt and uncle (whom were very nice to put us up) were in the military, so they were able to purchase a personal computer. My mother moved us back to Jacksonville, Florida, where we lived with my aunt and uncle temporarily while she looked for a job. I started programming computers when I was eight.
