My Rog had a TRS-80 when I met him in '79. The kids and I loved playing games on it...all text, no graphics. Then I got into computers in 1987 when I went to work at a place where no one had really figured out how to use the Word and other programs, so I did. Traded out my work for an old one they let me take home. It was the 386 I used for BBs until we bought our first "real" one as notd above.
