Our was bought new and it was used for 6 years! 6 years with 1mb of RAM ffs.

To be fair, probably cost a pretty fortune...

Coding our old one was fun. It could only access 4 8Kb chunks of RAM at any one time. To use more, you had to switch between different memory banks.

Also, to write to disk (5.25" floppy"), you had to code the read/write block by block.

I used to drill holes in 3.5" discs and format them as High Density to get extra storage space.

Think the only programming I ever did on it was with BASIC and very basic BASIC at that.

Ok, this sounds like an Altair 8080? In which case you probably win.
