@sandrak320 -  I still have both my Commodores also. I still have my CoCo from Radio Shack. I spent a small fortune on BASIC magazine. Spent hours typing in the program they featured in each issue (still a two-finger typist - LOL) and spent twice as long debugging it because somewhere I forgot to type in a semi-colon. ROFL

Still have my Commodore Vic-20 and Commodore 64 computers. Loved the built-in BASIC language.

I still have my Radio Shack TR80 computer but the tape recorder that came with it is broke and I somethimes wonder if maybe I should get it fixed!

One, maybe two things you forgot are Radio Shack's TRS-80, and the Apple ][.
