Pretty cool! My first computer was the Atari 800XL at about the age of 27 (1988). About 5 years after its intro in 1983. Of course, doing the math, I now have to thank you for making me realize how old I am.. my how time flies!

Radio Shack TRS-80 here.

Cool doodle! The X was a badass machine! Wish I had one when I was a kid.

The Spectum was probably way out of my families reach money wise at the time. We had a Tandy 1000 instead.

Commodore Vic-20 with a tape drive.

My first exposure was via an Apple IIC. My first following was a friend's Vic-20 with said tape drive and 300 bps modem.

Oh the memories... TRS-80 Color Computer with 4K memory, cassette tape player, dot-matrix printer, 300 bps modem... Ancient stuff.

Mm, I miss CoCo! I used to have a game called "Demon Seed" that I LOVED when I was a kid! Oh, and how could I forget Musica? Ahh the memories!!!

Dot matrix printer, yeah. I remember when I got my bi-directional dot matrix printer after owning a standard dot matrix. Not only was I amazed at the speed, but the thing could actually print backwards!

When I bought the Atari 800XL it came with a 40 column thermal printer. Ewww.
