    I don’t think I’m on the chart. First computer was a RadioShack TRS-80. 4 kb of RAM, but I upgraded to a blazing 8 kb. Yee-haw! No floppy discs: my programs were saved on cassette tape using a cassette recorder connected to the computer. Those were the days.

      Yah, and we had to wipe out the ram to load the program back in from the tape. And sometimes the volume wasn’t set perfectly in the cassette player, so you lost all your work.

      Good times?
