In college we had Commodore CBM's in the Computer lab. IBM released the First IBM PC after I graduated. These were the "PC'S" many businesses had if they didn't use a mini-computer and terminals back before the IBM PC and its future clones..

Thanks for the nostalgia!

I learnt my first language, BASIC on a Commodore VIC20 - it came with all of 4KB which I wrote a program that used up all its memory so I begged my parents to buy me more - they did - and got me a 16KB cartridge. This was a computer that you plugged into a CRT for the monitor and it had a tape-deck that you used to get programs on. I tried playing back the tape on a regular cassette deck and it was just a high frequency tone - oh well. I have to give it to my parents for even getting me this thing for a 10-year old.

Fun times!

Now I know how old you are, Ram. :D
