My first computer was a discarded business machine with a 4K rotating drum
memory and a pair of converted RTTY terminals for interfacing. It used punched
tape and had a mask over a small CRT that showed you the address and
accumulator busses as you went along. That was in high school in 1968/69.
My first personal computer was an Atari 800 that I got in 1981, and I
still have it carefully packed away.
