Who else had a history with microcomputers.

TRS-80, Commodore 64, Dragon32, etc. Any or all of those self contained units with a shit keyboard that ran BASIC and were completely useless and a long drawn out pain in the ass for anything but playing games and text adventures.

My brother had a VIC 20 and then a C64 in the early 80s. It might as well have been the Stone Age.

@uncalled4 Yeah, they were fun but they were just half assed Nintendo's and Ataris with a shitty keyboard.

@MethDozer Even that is pretty much a compliment. Hey, my brother is an IT guru now. It had its place. And I suffered with a Windows ME(Mistake Edition) computer for 11 years. There's no better education than dealing with something that doesn't work.

@uncalled4 Oh I agree. I have love for those wonky little microcontroller bastard boxes.

It takes a lot of special doing to get them to do anything special.
