Hi Bob, I think you hit the nail on the head there. I personally learned
and started with a Commodore VIC20, so I would consider that 80's kit.

Classics are in the mind's eye of each particular user. I have zero
experience with anything computer related prior to 1981, so you have me
beat there. I have read some material on Data General minicomputers from
the 70's but I wouldn't consider them personal systems. Maybe an Altair?

Don
