Texas Instruments 994A. Also had Commodore 64. The Timex had that flat keyboard but I had the memory expander module. Mom bought a Apple IIc when they came out. It balanced check books and had a game. I was into Atari, the original.

My first computer was an Intellivison II. Scew programs, just play games.

I still have the intellivision (for no apparent reason) and my kids get a kick out of it when we (rarely) break it out and get it working. Kind of how they enjoyed my "Big CD Player" turntable.

I had Windows 1 or whatever they called it. Just games and small programs. Basic paint.

It was on a 386 with the Turbo button.

Maybe 10gig HD.

Had big floppy and smaller disc HDs. No CD drive yet. Screen was green.

Loved Intellivision. Would still play Utopia if I had one.
