My first computer was a Tandy Coco that saved to cassette and I learned to code Basic on it. My first real computer was an IBM PC Jr. I used it for years. I still have two 286CPU with floppy disk drive and 1 meg ram and 10 meg HD desktops that work. (at least they did the last time I fired them up - several years ago wink They're in deep storage in an outdoor shed...

Like some of you others, I have boxes filled with every imaginable adaptor and cable. I have internal and external zip drives but no disks. frown I finally discarded all of the old CRT monitors a couple of years ago to make room for the 'newer' flat screens.. Last time I looked, there was still a box of dot-matrix 3-sheet carbon copy paper that comes out of the box in one long strip and you tear off each page at the perforations.
