    Ahhh...another "I walked ten miles to school in the snow" thread. :)


    The first computer that I used extensively was a TRS-80 model 1...with 4K of memory...back in 1981 in high school. I filled the memory with one of my programs (written in basic), so I had to go in and replace every "print" statement with a "?" character to recover 4 bytes in each instance so I had room to finish it. Yeah, it was that tight. Peek! Poke! :)

    We eventually got a model with more memory...but were still stuck with cassette tapes.

    I lusted after a VIC20 but we couldn't afford one at home. I joined the Army to save for college and the only major purchase that I made was a C64...with another cassette drive...that I eventually upgraded to the world's noisiest floppy. I was in heaven.

    From there it was a first gen PC, an Apple Lisa, and VAX mainframes in school, but those are later days.

    That beautiful TRS-80 Model 1 appears below.
    Now that machine is sexy

    How about the Osborne 1, circa 1981. My first home computer that I also used at work. At the time, I was the only individual at work using a "personal" computer.

    I'm sorry but, what could you even do on computers that old? I wouldn't have the slightest idea what to do on a thing without a screen.

    I remember my Tandy 1000 SX.
    Lets see; it has a 720 floppy but I had to add a string in the autoexec or config so it would see 1.4's.
    89 Keys, 30 meg card drive, 640k, cga. And Tandy "deskmate II" software.
