subject: Re: My First Computers

The first computer I used was a TRS-80 Model I Level II (It had been upgraded
from Level I and had RAM added).  My dad brought it home from his school
for the summer.

My school system had Commodore PETs, so I spend plenty of time on those
too.

But the first computer I actually owned was a Sperry HT.  IBM-XT clone, but
ran at about double the clock speed.  My college offered them on a payment
plan for students.  Upgraded the RAM (to a full 640K!) and added a Hercules
Monochrome Graphics card to it.
