Ah, yes. The early '80s. I remember:
Heathkit computers (build-it-yourself!)
The Atari 8-bit systems (I still have a working 1200XL)
The PET 2001, VIC-20, Commodore 64, and Commodore 128
The ever-popular and expandable Apple IIe, and its compact cousin, the IIc
Radio Shack's TRaSh-80s (later assimilated by Tandy)
The IBM PCjr
The Texas Instruments TI-99/4A
The tiny Timex-Sinclair ZX 1000, with its wretched membrane keyboard
Coleco's failed attempt at a personal computer, the ADAM
The Amigas and the Atari ST series, which were popular with graphic artists for a while
Apple's Lisa
The first Macintosh, with its monochrome screen, beige case, and something Steve Jobs called a "mouse"
(Never ask a dragon what he remembers.)
