First personal computer nostalgia

~1969 Play with programmable Monroe calculator. CRT display with about 100 steps. 1969-1975 See the world in the Navy. Got to watch some blinking lights and once did a boot load from tape. I don't recall the computer but it was in two modules that opened like a clam shell. ~1975 see articles in Pop. Elect. about building computers. Bought a TI 50 calculator. ~1978 Bought a used Poly88. I spend many an hour fiddling with this including a few circuit improvements. ~1979 Went to work for Intel. I was responsible for test of UPP and the controller cards for M2FM drives. ~1982 Bought H89. I thought the price of their OS was bad so I didn't buy it. I hand entered a Forth and wrote my own disk block I/O. ~1985 PC ------------ . . . 1995 Started working for a company that designs 64 bit SPARC processors for high end systems. Some place in there, I started, actively rather than passively, collecting old computers. And worse, I started collection pinball machine as well. Help! Dwight All dates are fudged slightly to protect the guilty. The facts are all true.
