My first PC, a TRS-80 Model III (1980) (www.homecomputermuseum.nl)

Z80 CPU, 2.03 MHz. 4kb of ram. No drives, just a cassette player/recorder, which frequently would lose your programs.

Good times.

No, I had to give up my first one when I went away to college. And then I bought another in about 1994 out of nostalgia. Then I realized how bad it was at computing and how large it was, and sold that one within a year.
