Default Re: OT: Complete the following statement, "My first computer was a..."

Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 1
4k in the keyboard, 16K expansion module to use the 360k single side 5.25" floppy drive. Black and white screen.

The thing only had capital letters, no sound, graphics consistiong of a 2x3 block, and reset every time someone walked by with a little static on them.

Programmed in basic and assembly into L-DOS ($399) from 80 Micro Magazine.

Ah, the good old days. And everyone thinks silver computers are new.
