MH> I started with a Commodore Vic-20 (which I won in a Mother's Day essay cont
MH> when I was 11 years old).  It sat in my closet for months before I even
MH> decided to check it out.  I had no interest in computers before winning it.
MH> One rainy day I broke it out of the box and toyed around with it.  The rest
MH> was history.

The Vic 20 was really an underappreciated system for what it could do, if it 
was expanded to at least 8 or 16k.

MH> About a year or two later, I bought an Apple //c brand new for $1000.  I ha
MH> several Apple systems until I was around 17 years old and sold all of the
MH> Apples and purchased a monster tower 286-12 system for $2000.  I sold (2)
MH> Apple //c systems and a //gs.  I never forgave Apple for dumping the // lin

I *loved* the Apple // for the longest time, up until I got a Tandy 1000.
