   Hey, for a little over a grand you get a real computer with 5 1/4 floppy disks and you’ were off and running. A thousand bucks was real dough, then. I couldn’t afford it so I bought a VIC 20 with 3K of RAM memory. But it was my first computer and I learned how to use the darn things. No floppies, I saved my stuff on a tape recorder. The VIC 20 was the same box as the Commodore 64 but with less memory.

   This was my first computer at work and I was amazed. No more white out, correction tape or shifting. It was so wonderful I can’t explain how it made me feel.

   OMG!!! This was our first computer at home. My Dad bought it because he had a connection at TI who could buy it for a discount. It had a few nice game cartridges, but he didn’t buy the word processor for it, so you couldn’t really use it to write a class paper on it.

   My brother had a Commadore that he used with his ham operators set. It had a tape recorder. The program he had would decipher morris code as it came in. We thought we were such hot stuff.
