<div dir="ltr">I started out with an Intellivision, which was <i>supposed</i> 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 <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/15wZd_XGEOEWQTCKZ1aMBY05BSzJQaWmf/view?usp=sharing">picture</a> 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...<div><br></div><div>My hope is some collector out in Durham Region has it. :D </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 12, 2021 at 8:55 AM CrankyOldBugger <<a href="mailto:crankyoldbugger@gmail.com">crankyoldbugger@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Our lives were irrevocably changed forty years ago this month:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/40-years-of-the-pc/" target="_blank">https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/40-years-of-the-pc/</a></div><div><br></div><div>(I started on a Vic-20, tbh... long live 4k RAM!)</div><div><br></div></div>
