I owned a pineapple II ..... it was a chinese copy of an Apple II, that we brought back from when we were in China I think... had a large 5.25" external floppy, no internal storage at all, and a TV card so that we didn't have to buy a super expensive computer monitor for it. It played some kickass text-based games LOL!

Yeah my first year of Tandy those would still come in for repair. Tandy's biggest screw up was closing the computer division, even bigger was not "keeping up" with the computer industry changes. They had a very, very loyal following from the end user. I have never seen more die-hard people that thought there computers were 'god'.

Commodore Vic-20 3.5k! with Screaming fast datasette. Commodore 64 with commodore monitor and floppy.. loved that machine, had two paper boxes of floppies of games that I pirated.
TRS-80 Model III's in High Schol.
AT&T 8086-1 with dual 5 1/4 floppies and green monochrome monitor. to an 80286, then an 80386 with a 60mb hard drive. I could load world of xeen if I took everything off. I ran Windows 3.1 and Deskview-x, it rocked, it was the first mutliprocessing system for 808x computers that I remember, I could run Win 3.1 in a window and a bulletin board in another.
