Apple ][e, 16 colors, 300 baud modem. Wowee that was a piece of crap.

My first computer was the Timex Sinclair 1000. Had to be pluged into a TV. Had like a K of memory. You programed everything in a crude form of BASIC (where I learned to program in fact.) And you had to leave it on 24/7 or you lost all your work.

Any one else remember that thing?

Whow, Darwin, That's better than me! I started with a ZX 80. No need to explain what this "computer"could do.
