Speaking of Triassic Computers (Single End-User / PC type),

Has anyone used (or built) an Altair? [Linked Image]

Talk about a lot of work involved when programming something simple! [Linked Image]

The machine I used in 1980 - 1981 was one of those TI machines (Texas Instruments - sold under the "Radio Shack" name), with the Cassette Tape player (for data R/W). Monochrome (White on Black) 9" monitor, QUERTY key board, 4 KB RAM, ??? CPU speed (most likely a Z-80 ???).

Moving up to a Model II (TRS-80) machine in the mid 1980's was like jumping from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age!
