I had a commodore vic 20, which really can't be called a computer although at the time it was sort of, but I didn't have any of the periphials that were needed like a tape deck. Therefore, all I ever did with it was plug it into the tv and play some text games with it. No monitor, no hd, no floppies yet. Very primative. My next step up was a Tandy (still no hd) but had a monitor and a 5 1/4 floppy drive. :-D the good ole days!
