I was young at the time, and a new computer was out of the question, especially
a PC.  So I had a series of second hand microcomputers, an XT for a little
while in 93, a 386 on loan and finally my first new one, a Pentium at the end
of 96.  The old computers were cool, and in a way, I'm glad I went through the
journey of using these machines, which were mostly less than $50 from Garage
Sales.

The VZ 200 and Vic 20 were a good experience before the C64 I wanted (I actualy
wanted the Atari 1040STE, but settled on a 2nd hand C64 eventually).

Also while the XT was very limited for its time, it was a good machine and fun
to use.
