LOVED the 2200! Lets’s see, 26 years ago would be 1981....that’s an early 2200! Maybe a “VP”? I arrived in the mid eighties. Loved booting those machines up, went right to the Command Prompt about two seconds after powering up, if I remember correctly. Back then we wrote our own “diagnostics” in Basic.....

Yes! A VP. That stuff was pure magic, a feeling I don’t think anyone gets these days and it’s too bad. We hooked the thing up to a Starwriter typewriter and the thing typed all by itself! Unbelievable.
