[nflug] In the beginning,, New Toy...

[Brad Bartram]

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.

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.
