48 years young.
Atari 2600.
First real computer TRS-80 Model 1 Level II with 16k of memory and a
tape drive, bought in 1980.
In 1981 I bought an Apple II+ with 48k memory and a disk drive. Didn't
have the money for a monitor so I bought an adapter to hook it up to my
TV. From there stepped up to an Apple IIe, then a IIc, then a IIGS.
Finally moved on to Macs in 1996. Currently own a Mac Mini, but
recently bought a complete Apple IIe system (two disk drives, monitor
and Imagewriter printer) for $5 at an estate auction. Am looking
forward to transferring the disk images I have of Apple II software on
the Mac back to real disks to use on the Apple IIe.
