My first real exposure to computers was my favorite teacher bringing his
TRS-80 Model III with dual floppy to school. He had written a math program
in BASIC to show some stuff to the class, but then let me hang out and pour
through the disks and disks of stuff! That's where I heard about Scott
Adams and the text adventures!!!

Then when my friend got a Vic20 and two others got C-64's, I got a CoCo 2.
