[jolo]

Commodore VIC 20 w/ tape drive.

before that, my mom used to be able to bring home a Commodore PET (no idea what the specs were) every odd weekend as her work wanted to get everyone computer-literate.

Used to play 'lemonade stand' and 'oregon trail' text games.

First PC was an Apple, c.1987. DOS, floppys, cartridges, Dot Matrix printer with the green/ white paper with the holes on the sides, in a continuous ream. The big deal was making stupid banners out of groupings of letters. No Internet, just "bulletin boards", and every one was a long distance call. Black and white tiny monitor. Email nonexistent; BBS addresses were "Go Blablabla". First computer experience was a decade earlier. Took a "computer science" course at the university in the late '70s to be "on the cutting edge"... Punchcards, BASIC, FORTRAN.
