 Hmmm, started out with a mighty MC10 from Radio Shak, worked my way up to a 
Color computer 1 and then finally 3.  Ran a unix clone OS on that and even had 
a dialup
board on that one.  Great fun those days... multi user multi tasking 
environment on an 8 bit machine. :)

 heheheh, was pretty amazing way back in the day when you didn't have to use 
the command prompt for everything.

 Yep.. those were the days when you had to pretty much know what you were

 CS> ...man... PC'ing back then was so great....
