That and a monster dot-matrix printer. |
I had one of those as well.
well, two over the course of a while. It really sucked that that monitor was not removeable.
then i had:
Vic20
commodore 64
SX64 (~65lbs of "portable" c64)
and various ataris and so on.

| Packard Bell 486 DX66. God awful slow! We were the first in the entire family to have a computer and it cost I believe a we bit over a grand which at the time for us was a ton of money. I guess my dad knew what he was doing because we were on that thing all the time and he encouraged it. 15 years later my brother and I make a living being nerds sitting at a PC all day. |

Texas Instruments TI-99, bought in 1976 or 77, I think I paid about $400? or so, don't remember. I took computer programming in high school (FORTRAN) and we had to keypunch IBM cards to run through the compiler. It was high tech stuff back then.

I started out with a TRS80 Model 1 back in 1976. S/N 000015. Had the expansion interface, with 110 baud modem and 4 5 1/4 floppy drives. My son and I hacked it and got it to run 64K of ram in a banks switching mode. Had a Heathkit dot matrix printer that would print 14 characters a second.
At work, we had an IBM 5100 desk top. Was used mostly for payroll and to print checks.

I was also a TI-99 man- 10k of memory and a cassete tape. Man, the pong was awesome. I took fortran in college in 1973- big ass stack of punch cards to add 2+2.
