I had the VIC 20. Played the Lunar Lander game for hours on that thing when I wasn’t cranking out the BASIC programs. Even got the cassette drive to save my programs.

Good times.

Same here except for the programming. I never could get anything to really work.

Ha ha, when I first did computing, it was with a Teletype ASR-33 and a 110 baud modem! My first computer, I wire wrapped!

Also, when I was a kid, I had to walk back and forth to school four miles a day*. And it was uphill both ways. The snow was three feet deep. And then came the winter...

* This part is actually true.
