Commodore 64.

Had all the early SCUBA courses that I taught on big floppy discs, typed on a Commodore 64, slow as a slug.

Off topic again, sorry Rob.

... And the first stage that the new equipment is demo'ed with?
A 40-year-old Scubapro Mk10!!!

The pictured Mk 10 has the cut-out for the SPEC band (is that what it was called?)--so, this makes it a "Mk 10 Plus (Mk 10 +)", I believe.

I thought the spec boot groove was around before the Mk10+ came out.

Probably used it because it was laying in the shop while the mk2 was out diving

it needs some grease and a Rob inner tube treatment.

Hell, I'd even send them a proper spec boot for it in shearwater blue.... I hear some people get excited about color matching!

Yes, you and @rsingler are correct. (I stand corrected.) I just checked my old Scubapro catalogs. The groove appears on the Mk10 in my 1991 catalog, but is NOT there on the Mk10 in my 1989 [sic] catalog. (Evidently, I have misplaced my 1990 catalog.)

My own four Mk10 regs date back to 1987 (a pair) and 1988 (the second pair), and they do NOT have the groove. I purchased kits to upgrade two of my Mk10 regs to Mk10 Plus regs, c. 1994.

Thanks,

I bought a really beat up Mk10 on eBay for @rsingler 's regulator service class. It's on one of my pony bottles now.

Did you, too, start with an Atari?

TRS-80 from RadioShack.

Apple II Plus and I still have it. So no wonder I still have my original mk10 and g250 graphite.

I still have a working Osborne.
