    Da> My first computers were:   
      
    Da> Commodore VIC-20   
      
   My family's first computer when I was growing up was the Commodore 64.  We had   
   the whole kit & caboodle including the monitor with built in speaker, dot   
   matrix printer, joystick and cassette drive.  Everything except the modem.   
      
   We had a few cartridge games (which I liked because they loaded instantly),   
   but we also had the cassette drive with a bunch of games loaded on several   
   cassettes.   
      
   I remember our local library had books full of basic code printed out,   
   including some games.  I remember spending way too much time typing these   
   games out and then saving the code to one of my tapes.   
      
   Later on after we got an IBM Aptiva (486 DX2/66) the commodore monitor was   
   moved into my room where I hooked our Super Nintendo up to it.  Not sure   
   whatever happened to the C64 itself.

   ... Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where all the fruit is?
