You and ila both have me beat. My "first" was just a lowly "Vic-20" hooked up to an old color TV via an adapter that attached to the antenna.
Like you, I had the "tape drive." I am jealous of ila that he had an actual disk drive.
Did either of you have the "VIC-Modem"?
The "oldest" computer I have ever used was a "NorthStar" running "CP/M." Its case was made of
wood (Hehe..hehe...hehe he said "wood"). It belonged to one of my professors in grad school. He said he bought it in 1979. It was still running after all those years! He let me try using "WordStar." I wrote a memo to him updating my research proposal then printed it off on an equally ancient "dot matrix" printer.
(Fun fact: WordStar used the S, E, X, and D keys for "cursor movement."
