What was your first computer?

[midnight251]

I had an Atari 800xl (1983) with 64K ram (wow). It had a 5 1/4 floppy and tape (cassette) for storing programs. Hooked up to 13" color tv (which my son still uses today in his room). Came with built in BASIC for writing programs. Also took the Atari game cartridges. I remember having a pretty cool baseball game that I played a lot.

I can't even remember, i was that young.

I remember my brother running command lines etc.
It had a floppy, that was about it. Lol.

My five year old son couldn't read yet (1980) so I printed the commands on a piece of paper we taped to the monitor. Anyone remember the ApplePie word processor or Nibble magazine

My first one was a TI99 4/a, then a Commodore 64.. those were the days! Code was more efficient at least!

Had a Dell laptop whose BOIS isn't working now

I messed it up Now no one wants to give me 2 bananas for it. My mom also shouts at me whenever she remembers that I messed it up. :D

The first thing I programmed was a Texas Instruments TI-59. In 1983 I got a C64.
