My first computer was a Timex Sinclair with

• 2k of memory
• cassette tape "hard drive"
• TV for the monitor
  • Raced home from the Navy commissary and hooked it up.
  • Broke out the manual.

Print "Dave" and it did!!!
For x = 1 to 10
Print "Dave"
Next x and it did!!!
Then I made it scroll continuously moving right and left

Later I got my first "laptop"...
