So, you had it easy. You could afford string.
You pair of bum bags!
The very first machine I played on was owned by my girlfriends dad,
actually I think he brought it home from work in the back of 10Tonne
truck I was 17 or 18 at the time so we're talking 1978ish cant
remember what the machine was but we played a version of Star Treck
which was sort of green wire framed ships on a black display!
My first machine that I actually owned was a Commodore 64, Oh how I
enjoyed spending 6 days copying the code out the back of the book to
create that f'ing ping pong game only to discover there was a printing
error in the code.
My first, what I would call computer, was a Packard Bell machine with
a whopping 1.5GB HDD and Win95a
