I had a C64, and before that I had a TI-100. I wrote my own version of Centipede in it, and made a music sequencing program.
AND, I was in the first classroom in Florida with dedicated computers. Not the first generation, the very first classroom. We were a test group, to see if 7th graders could master the complexities of the TRS80.
I remember Mr. Hoddinott (yes, his real name) explaining external memory, and demonstrating the floppy drive. The terminals had 1meg of ROM. Mr. Hoddinott guaranteed we would NEVER need more than that.
