1st Online Experience?

I remember playing with the idea of buying a TRS80... (ugh! Radio Shack... gone but not forgotten) but opted to wait for the Apple II (+) once I started to look into the 6502... design.

Those were the old days... not so good, but at least I was in control of the machine... not the OS manufacturer.
