Re: [LM_NET] Your first computer

[Deb Logan <jd3logan@BRIGHT.NET>]

This question stirred up many memories.  The first computer I worked on 
was the dumb terminal of a main frame (late 1970s).  I think I next 
worked on a Radio Shack Tandy.  I also did some work on a Commodore 64 
and some of the early IBM clone PCs (1983).  My first school had Apple 
IIes. 

    However, the first "computer" I owned was a dedicated word processor 
with a memory and a form of .  Magnavox made "Videowriters" that sold 
for under $700 in around 1988.  I made up my mind to wait until 
computers and printers  (remember dot matrix?) could do what I wanted 
with graphics before personally investing in a full-fledged one.  As far 
as I was concerned, I could use computers with lousy graphics at work 
without paying to do so. 

    Remember when people were afraid of computers?
