@RandomCanuck I love your introduction. I began my computer journey on a Mac Classic. I wish I still had it. Years prior I had a friend with a TRS-80, but I scarcely remember anything about it.
@markwyner We just donated our SE-30 to a local guy who collects and restores old hardware. We hadn't switched it on in a decade, but the old girl lit up and booted no problem. It was a great machine in its day! We also donated a Bondi Blue Rev. B iMac that was similarly functional. Good times.
The TRS-80 I used ran a version of BASIC. Program storage was on audio cassette.
