Daily Prompt – My First Computer

Daily writing prompt
Write about your first computer.

My first computer was a Commodore Vic 20 which preceded the popular Commodore 64. It was a Christmas gift to me in 1982. I loved that machine because you could learn to program and play games. It was an 8-bit system, and it used a cassette tape drive and cartridges like a video game. It was also at a great price point of under $300 at the time. Furthermore, it really did a great job of getting technology to the people. Thanks to my mom and dad for gifting it to me and making me a happy boy.

  1. Aaah nostalgia! My brother had one when I was a small kid, and I loved playing with the cartridges. I’m more aware of playing computer games when they/we got a comp (can’t remember which brand or type) with floppy discs. Man, I loved those.
