I started out with an Intellivision, which was *supposed* to be a computer
system with a keyboard and other peripherals, but it was just a video game
system to me.  My first actual computer was a hand soldered Apple ][+
clone, with a genuine Apple ][+ ROM, not the clone 6502 ROM.  My father got
the kit from some store in Scarborough and we (mostly him) spent days
soldering every component onto the board, including an additional ram
card.  I have a semi bad picture

of it, but sadly, it's no longer in my possession.  In 2013 it was disposed
of in some way...  Still have the disks and some other original Apple
systems...

My hope is some collector out in Durham Region has it. :D
