[cctalk] Re: First Personal Computer

I'm not claiming it was the first personal computer but is was my first 
personal computer. It was within a year or two of just about any other first 
personal computer.
It was a Poly88 with ROM based tiny basic. I had a keyboard, I think I got from 
Mike Quin's as well as a Singer typing terminal that I converted into a serial 
printer.
I used a transformer powered TV as a monitor and used a cassette recorder as 
mass storage.
It was more personal than other machine as it was my personal creation after 
several modifications to enhance it. I learned a lot about computers and how 
they worked from that machine.
