    my first homecomputer was a used VIC20 in 1983. all that stuff was pretty expensive in those days, not to compare with today.

    gosh, that's all that long ago - am i gettin' old, or what :wave: maccy.jpg

    The Vic 20 was like the Atari 2600, it was everywhere here and super impressive. I remember walking into the computer/stereo shop and they had just gotten the brand new Vic 20 and they had a voice box, us little kids were blown away by the real talking computer. The Apple II was king for me, everyone had a copy of Locksmith and we were hacking disks all the time, when Ultima came out someone got everyone a copy. Personally I think that's why the Atari 2600 died so quickly, computer games were 10x better and you could do roll-playing games on them.
