Oh my! you kids don't know you've been born! I twisted my parents arms in the late '70s, into buying me a Commodore Personal Electronic Transactor (PET). For those of you with 1 or 2 Gigabytes of RAM, the PET had 8 Kilobytes of RAM (only 7 usable!). Operating system was in an 8k ROM. lean, mean, tight coding essential!
Huge fun, and it set me off on my eventual career with (IBM spit!) PCs.
