    Apple II's (the plain II, not the IIc or IIe mind you), Trash 80's, Commodore PET's, Tandy 1000's, and the upgrade from the Commodore 64 to the 128.



    Man I'm really reaching back into the stone age.

    I just recently tore apart and upgraded my expansion module on my Radio Shack Model I. Now I get the descending lowercase letters!! Much better to look at!!! I even added 16K RAM and the 5 1/4" floppy - cost me a pretty penny, but WELL worth it (I was sick of loading in the programs on the cassette tape drive - it was SO dadgummed slow)!!!

    I was thinking about upgrading to the Model IV - I like the built in dual 5 1/4" floppies. Anyone else did the upgrade? Thoughts??

    I still have my Commodore 64 with cassete storage, Commodore color monitor, and dot matrix printer!

    Along with about 3 years of Compute's Gazette magazine... I remember spending hours on end keying in code in "Comodore Basic"!
