No idea. It was a hand me down from a family friend though, so not current when we had it. At a guess, based on the fact it was the machine I started to learn to code on, it was roughly 1986 when I was 5. Probably had it for two or three years I would have thought
A strange confluence of memories is the fact I was writing a simple program to teach kids their times tables when Greg Louganis hit his head on the diving board in 1988. That supports my memory of two years or so...
