A Digital PDP-8e. It was an octal based minicomputer with a teletype and paper tape reader. Well, it was actually my high school's minicomputer. This was high end stuff back in the mid 70's.

C-64 with tape drive, 'External' 5.25 floppy drive, and a dot matrix printer.

Tandy 1000 TL with 640 K memory and a 3.5 inch disk drive. I had to buy a 5 1/4 external because at the time, most programs still came on those.

I later purchased a hard drive for it that wouldn't hold a large .jpg nowadays.

A Gateway computer that ran Windows 98 I bought in the fall of '97, Pentium 3 processor 700 megahertz... Ithink it ran faster that the one I have now that runs Vista!!

I had an Atari 2600 with a bunch of games and cartridge programs. That came out in October of 77.
