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...

My old man was a late adopter (read: tightarse) so if the school had a computer, why did we need one at home? How long did you have it for though?
