Funny, my first computer was a Heathkit H89 (had to look that up) my dad loved building things and had built a couple of Heathkit projects, a couple of Ham Radio's. The funny thing is he never used the radios for much, at the time we lived in the arctic (73) and he used the ham radios to pick up radio commercial stations(?) in Canada and once in awhile we would hear Russian on the radio.
Wannabee my first portable computer was a Compaq Portable II, it came with a hard drive, mine was upgraded to a whopping 40 meg! the processor was an Intel 80286 (AT)turbo(?) it could be switched between 6 or 8MHz.
I bought it used, very, from the company I worked for, I paid $800 in 1988.
