I started with a TRS-80 that had 4K of memory.

Ah, when I had my first “home computer”, you couldn’t BUY one. I had to wire wrap it, and the parts alone almost broke me in high school.

It was so much fun loading programs with one of those bulky tape drives wasn’t it? They didn’t always take. I remember writing tons of programs in BASIC and playing Dungeons of Daggorath and being beaten to death by a stick figure...lol

Not counting the unlimited memory in tapes. But I just had mine so I could use it as a terminal.
