I started on the TI99-4A from Texas Instruments, with a lovely cassette
drive!!

Learned Basic on that thing.

Then Dad, dissatisfied with the TI bought a Model XT (I think it was an
8086 clone...don't remember the exact brand, but Bentley keeps popping
into my head)
he was frustrated by the interface, not user-friendly enough I guess,
and so I got to spend lots of time on the machine.
