1986 vintage, Tandy 1000TX. 640 KB RAM, CGA, no hard drive (later added a 20 MB hard drive), 5.25" floppy, added a 3.5" later. When I finished year 6, dad bought me a 512 KB VGA card for it. phw0ar, colour!

DeskMate -- brings back a flood of memories.
Most of the time I played around in DOS (probably explains why I'm a UNIX sysadmin now), used Broderbund Software's PrintShop to print stuff on a dot matrix (later upgrade to colour); used to print all our own birthday cards and send them overseas to family.

I managed to get Windows 3.0 to install on it. It used to take 30 minutes to install from 8, 720 KB 3.5" floppies. Using Windows Write. It would taken 5 minutes to change/select a font, lol.
We had that machine from 1986 to 1997 when I got my first Pentium.
Ah, those were the days.
