In all fairness, I am just as ancient. My first 'computer' was a Digicomp-1 My first home built was a set of match boxes with M&M's setup to solve tic-tac-toe by learning (I ate the mistakes) My first electronic computer was an Altair 8800 kit. I used it with a SWTP TV Typewriter II, and a Heathkit dot matrix printer. A friend had a Kim-1 but I didn't.
The Altair was purchased with my first paycheck, from my first full time 'real job' after college. I had it until I got rid of it after getting married several years later and wife got me to 'dump my junk I don't use'. Still wish I had it. I did notice the one in the Computer Museum in Boston has a higher serial number than mine did. Oh well ... I do like the Arduino mainly because it is enticing a new generation into computers, control systems, and learning. ... Later. _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
