  My first computers were:

1) A Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10 Micro Color Computer. A TV set (with a special
adapter) was the monitor, programs were loaded and saved via cassette tape,
an acoustic coupler modem was used for communication with CompuServe or
BBS's, and it had a small box like keyboard...with an optional 16K RAM
Expansion Pack (it originally only had 4K).

2) A Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100. I had a disk drive with it, and special
software to load/save files (it was faster than cassette). A special terminal
program allowed one to access CompuServe for the forums, with another one,
allowing Xmodem file transfers.

3) An 8088 XT, with 640K RAM, a monochrome green monitor, a 20 MB hard drive,
a keyboard, a mouse, plus a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy drive, with DOS. 3.2 on
it. That was the birthplace of The Thunderbolt BBS nearly 30 years ago.
