My first computer was a kit I got for chirstmas sometime in the early 70's it was plastic and you put little one inch pieces ofdrinking straws on the pegs to represent 1's and 0's cranked it in and out a few times and it would give you a binary answer to a simple math problem.
Friends at school has Timex sinclair and TRS-80 that we fiddled with.
I bought a PC clone in about 1983 for $1000, and then it never stopped. Got an old Atari computer in the garage that I picked up at the swap meet a few weeks ago. Also a couple of old Atari Video games, working as well, hooked them up for the kids a few months ago and the lasted about 30 seconds before they started rolling on the floor laughing at the 8 bit graphics.

Haven't seen this show in years but I remeber the first time I saw it sitting there watching counting all the machines that I worked on and or owned

1st computer I owned: Commodore 64.

Of course now I have one of each. Yeah, on occasion I go and play games on both of

Mine was a 64.

I even spent the Bucks and purchased the "Voice " module that you could plug in to the side and have it talk to you.
