1st Used: Dec-10, via modem from home (dad brought home terminal) 1st Owned: Hmmm, Dad brought home a TRS-80. He never used it. I did. It's gone. dunno if that counts. First one that *I* owned (after the TI-59, still have) was a Mac 512k. I still have the original lower case, picture tube, and keyboard. The rest, including upper case, motherboard, floppy, power supply, etc. was swapped in upgrades. Still in use for games, on rare occasions. Now it's a Mac Plus, after all the upgrades. Second owned: Rainbow 100A, $25 surplus at Stanford. Still have it. Not in use, except rarely, but several projects planned on it. Third owned: NeXT 040 Cube, $850 from Whitelight systems, it's on my desk at work, I use it all the time. Prices, where given, do not include the (substantial) cost of upgrades, software, etc. Other used, not owned: CDC 7?00 and PDP-11/44 (?) at University of Texas, Balcones Computer Co. CP/M machine same place, NeXT Computer (030) at Stanford (*tried* to get that one, but no go), Many PC's etc. in labs. Big computers (forgot what kind - maybe IBM and Cyber?) at GSFC Owned and sold/gave away: 2 of 4 AT&T Unix PC's in a haul from California. Still have 2. Now my wife can't say I never gave anything away. Misplaced printer for the TI-59 :-(. Packrat genes definitely present.
