Makes me wish I'd held onto all of my issues of        SD> "Family Computing" now.                My first computers were:              1) A Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10 Micro Color Computer. A TV set (with a special       adapter) was the monitor, programs were loaded and saved via cassette tape,       an acoustic coupler modem was used for communication with CompuServe or       BBS's, and it had a small box like keyboard...with an optional 16K RAM       Expansion Pack (it originally only had 4K).              2) A Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100. I had a disk drive with it, and special       software to load/save files (it was faster than cassette). A special terminal       program allowed one to access CompuServe for the forums, with another one,       allowing Xmodem file transfers.              3) An 8088 XT, with 640K RAM, a monochrome green monitor, a 20 MB hard drive,       a keyboard, a mouse, plus a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy drive, with DOS. 3.2 on       it. That was the birthplace of The Thunderbolt BBS nearly 30 years ago.              Daryl              ...
