   MH> I started with a Commodore Vic-20 (which I won in a Mother's Day essay cont   
   MH> when I was 11 years old).  It sat in my closet for months before I even   
   MH> decided to check it out.  I had no interest in computers before winning it.   
   MH> One rainy day I broke it out of the box and toyed around with it.  The rest   
   MH> was history.   
      
   The Vic 20 was really an underappreciated system for what it could do, if it    
   was expanded to at least 8 or 16k.   
      
   MH> About a year or two later, I bought an Apple //c brand new for $1000.  I ha   
   MH> several Apple systems until I was around 17 years old and sold all of the   
   MH> Apples and purchased a monster tower 286-12 system for $2000.  I sold (2)   
   MH> Apple //c systems and a //gs.  I never forgave Apple for dumping the // lin   
      
   I *loved* the Apple // for the longest time, up until I got a Tandy 1000.
