Computer Histories

John Paczkowski has collected people's stories about their first computer:
Maybe it's because the holiday season lends itself to reminiscing, or maybe we just touched a soft spot in the hearts of the GMSV faithful, but scores of you responded to our request for memories of your first computers. We were left misty-eyed by the ghosts of hardware past -- Sinclairs, Trash-80s, Northstars, Morrows, even the big iron that some of you bonded with in school.
I think my first was a Commodore 64 with an amber monitor and a tape drive.
