My God, how old are you??? ;op

My first computer was a TRS-80 Model 1 Level 1.

4k of memory (that's right 4 K!)

with a monochrome graphics resolution of 128 x 27

Purchase in 1980.

No floppy. It was all cassette driven.

A Trash-80! My best friend Kira had one of those. Her cassette drive was on a card table, and we had to enter and exit the room VERY carefully, because if a program was loading and we bumped the card table, the cassette would skip the program and we'd have to rewind and start over.

I had an Atari 400 (McDonald's Cash register keyboard, no keys) with a cassette drive.

Used to play Avalon Hill's "B-1 Nuclear Bomber" with it. No graphics, just text messages....
