I had one of these
(a gift from my geek uncle when I was about 9) in its original box in storage at my parents house, I asked about it last year and my mum had to admit that she had GIVEN IT TO A FUCKING CHARITY SHOP!!!
I was so gutted :(

well, rasko, it built up my arm muscles because this first "portable" computer weighed 28 pounds.
aside from that, i typed words on it and printed them out on the first "letter quality" daisywheel printer, which only cost 1500 dollars at the time!

typing and printing out words is fun, especially when you paid that much, damn, no wonder you made a career from it, gotta make the investment pay haha!

Amiga 500 with ram extension, dreaming of a second external disk drive... (my parents didn't want to buy a NES, and they were damn right)

I came to the belated realization that I liked the shape of the words more than the meaning

oh shit my dad bought one of those philips videopacs way back in the day. he still has it i think.
my first computer was the old commodore 64...used to pirate games like a champ for that.my first mac was a performa 6115CD...still have that thing (use it as a monitor base).

first one i bought was a Mac G3.
still works great - and it should. after student loan had finally been paid off - i believe it came to about $4,000.
my mom used to work with punch cards and that stuff. i remember my dad getting Prodigy when it came out and thinking.. big deal.
