If I had found one of those when I was a kid I would have been in heaven.
What I did have was a CARDIAC [0] computer. I found it when I was 10 (this would have been in the early 1970s) and it turned me on to programming. I still have it, although some memory cells are burned out (too many erasures) and I tried building larger, more complicated variants with extended instruction sets.

- raphlinus 6y agoI also had a CARDIAC, but on top of that I had a series of computers starting with KIM-1 (6502) and SDK-85 (8085, which was Intel's answer to the Z80 at the time). Fun times, and I think we've lost something since then.
