My very first playtime I had with computers was probably the Apple II. I think it was called that. Maybe something else even, but hey, I was too young to know, let along bother! 😉

It had that smallish monochrome monitor, which had green text. Yes, green and black. Nothing else. The keyboard was integrated with the CPU. It only had the standard letters and the top row of numbers. No keypad at all. The floppy drive was the big versions, 5 1/4" type. Man, it didn’t even have the 1.2MB capacity it’s descendants enjoyed before they were phased out. I think it’s only 360kB or something. Memory wasn’t very big too. It could have hit 2 MB, though I could be wrong. Oh, it had to be booted up from the floppy.

One thing I do know, is that it’s enough to fit a game inside. That’s all kids were ever interested anyway. The game I really enjoyed playing was a submarine hunter type of game. I think it was called seawolf. That was probably the only game, we had, but it sure was fun!
