ZOMG!!! 64K!!! How could I possibly use that much memory?
Oh...and BTW...the only reason why commodore was always cheaper...is because it uses your existing tv, whereas the others came with monitors. Nice market ploy, though
I started with the TRS-80...predecessor to the Tandy. Ahh...the wonderful sounds of the tape recorder loading up games...*sniff*...brings a tear to my eye. Thank you Eliza....Thank you Cave Adventure...Thank You Crush, Crumble, Chomp. You made my youth so very special

I feel so young. My first computer was an Acer Open 486 with a QUAD-speed cd-rom, 32 mb of ram, and 400 MEGABYTE!!! hard drive. I could fit so many midi's on that thing...you don't even know.

I was the first kid with a Hard Drive in my neighborhood. Went straight from an atari 2600 to a 286 12mhz 640k 10mb hd that was as big as a toaster and made as much nose as a diesel.
Space quest and leisure suit larry FTW!!

I feel like a youngun, I just have an AT/XT Supercomputer sitting next to me. (It says its super on the cover of the manual!) I'm tempted to hook it up to see if it still works. I remember playing Battle Chess on it, I always hated moving the queen, if you moved her across the board, might as well go watch a movie, it took 20 minutes for her to move, lol. How about Hurkle? anyone remember that one?

3
button mouse.

Mine was an 8086 XT. I forgot the version of DOS, but I believe it had 3200 baud modem or something.
I can remember connecting to local bulletin boards and playing Legend of the Red Dragon, using telnet through the local college to get on IRC. I also used to hide my cigarettes from my parents inside the ENORMOUSE case.
