TRS-80 CoCo2 (Score 1)

2 things I'll always remember about that thing was loading data from basically a standard audio cassette tape drive, and upgrading the Ram to 16k so I could play Zaxxon. Also like most kids my age that had the same machine, the first game I played on it was Poltergeist off a cart. That was the first I owned, sometime in the early 80's. The first PC I ever used was an Apple ][ One of my favorite games I got to play on it was called Cycle Jump. I think that was in 1979 or so, I was 5 or 6. I remember it was just so cool to watch my cousin do all this 'neat stuff' to the machine to get that game to run.. That was my (older) cousin's dad's PC, later I found out that my cousin was a software pirate which I didn't quite understand to the point where I knew that was a bad thing to do. Later I did the same, breaking copy protection was just like a fun challenge to figure out as a kid. Ah good memories, now I'm a UNIX sys admin which is pretty cool. I ought to call them up and say thanks to my uncle. He pushed my dad to get us our first PC. Too bad he didn't push him farther than Radio Shack though! Hehe :) -Ep
