My first "computer" was an SWTP-6800 built from a baggie of parts. Assembly 
instructions and manual were one mimeographed 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of paper. 
No keyboard (or storage) and you programmed it with DIP switches.

First "store-bought" was a TRaSh-80 Model I - with the Level II ROM. I
briefly had a Timex-Sinclair 1000 followed by a C=64. My nieces had C=64s
followed by Coleco Adam(s) - which were used more for Mario Brothera and
Donkey Kong than school/learning.

My first "real" PC was an IBM w/256K RAM and a 10 MB hard disk. Also a
5.25" floppy drive that would hold 100K of data. That was followed fairly
quickly by a PET 4032 with a floppy drive - but with only a 40 column 
screen. I then moved up to a PET 8032 (like in the movie 2001 - a Space 
Oddity) and 8050 dual floppy.

Then I got my first Amiga (2000) and all was gravy after that.  Bv)=
