Intell 8088 in a Tandy box for me.

Well, technically, my Timex Sinclair (aptly named) is/was my oldest, but I’m not even sure I could fire that baby up any more. Used an ordinary cassette tape recorder for storage, and an ordinary Black and White TV for a monitor. I had the “deluxe” 16K RAM-PAC.

Cassette tapes and floppy discs? There’s a rack full of that stuff in the back room. Since the mid 80’s have never gotten rid of any of it including a huge box of operation manuals. Not about to go prowling to remember what it is. But it all worked when stashed. I figgered there was stuff in those hard drives that I might want to get back some day? Some place in there is a flight instructor program that was actually pretty good. Taught my son to fly using it.
