That's cool!  I had no idea that Sperry made PC compatibles.  I Googled it and
checked it out.  Would have been pretty neat to own a personal computer with
the Sperry name on it.

My first computer experience was on a TRS-80 Model III.  But the first computer
I owned was an IBM PCjr.  Worst of both worlds: not as good at business
software as the IBM PC, and not as good as games as a Commodore or Atari.  But
I learned a lot by trying to make things work.
