Well, I started like everyone else using TRS-80's, and my first home computer
was a Timex Sinclair 1000.  Then a VIC-20, Then an Atari 800XL.
I didn't buy myself a "real" computer until after college.

I miss the joystick port.  That was like my own interface to the outside world.
I suppose I could just use a Raspberry Pi, but being able to have a simple
makeshift I/O port was really fun.
