   Hi Bob, I think you hit the nail on the head there. I personally learned   
   and started with a Commodore VIC20, so I would consider that 80's kit.   
      
   Classics are in the mind's eye of each particular user. I have zero   
   experience with anything computer related prior to 1981, so you have me   
   beat there. I have read some material on Data General minicomputers from   
   the 70's but I wouldn't consider them personal systems. Maybe an Altair?
