No, I had to give up my first one when I went away to college. And then I bought another in about 1994 out of nostalgia. Then I realized how bad it was at computing and how large it was, and sold that one within a year.
Good ol' Trash-80 ...learned Basic on one of those.
Me too. From typing code in from magazines mostly.
Yup. I remember typing in a sort of blackjack card game, but it was mostly text and used verrrry simple graphics for the cards. More than 1,000 lines of code, "hand crafted" as we say now.
Same. I remember my first magazine script-kiddie code. Whenever you pressed a key on the keyboard, the screen would change to a different solid color.
