I had a Timex Sinclair. After that, I had one of these:
Dual 130K single sided floppies, built in monochrome, sadly, didn't come with the forklift ya needed to haul it around. Remember they used to brodcast programs on the radio!
I heard a mint TRS-80 is worth a coupla bucks, if you have all the packaging and original doc.
My church bought a Datapoint computer in the early 80's and asked me to write a payroll system. Being a mainframe programmer they thought I could do it. When I saw the thing and the manuals I had to laugh. I had to call Datapoint to find out where the "On" switch was.
After several months of writing code (language called Databus) I finished the system. They used my payroll system for several years until they switched to PC's.
For my work, they gave us one year tuition for all four of our kids at their Christian school.
