childhood geek shenanigans

my first computer was one of these — the tandy trs-80 color computer 2.

it was decked out with a tape drive for loading games and programs.  think of the load times for the original playstation, and multiply by 50.

i think i eventually got a disk drive for it as well, at which point i gladly chucked the tape reader out the window.

after a few years, the trash 80 was boxed up in favor of my apple //gs. 

wow, i should make a list of all of the computers i’ve owned.  there would be dozens.

oh, and happy easter!
