The first thing I ever used - not even a PC - was the Commodore Vic-20 - the precurser to the venerable 64. That was way back in the early days of Reaganomics when the Jackson 5 was still on their world tour.<br><br>The first PC, was a Tandy 1000 somewhere around 1984 - 1985 ish. Then of course it was apple-mania with the IIe and later the IIgs.
