For no reason beyond boredom I decided to pester this
list with an OT
topic or two. So, without further delay:
What was your first computer ?
Aside from the IBM 360 at work during the 60's,
my first personal computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III. Two floppys, 16K memory,
which I upgraded to an insane 32K (or was it 64K?). That and a Daisy Wheel Printer cost
me $3,000 in 1980.
And for extra points:
What was the first music/sound software you used that really hooked you
into this making-music-with-computers fad ?
An Orchestra 90. It may not have been
all that great, but I remember being incredibly impressed with it at the time.
