His computer until he discovered the dang thing had no memory. I got a used pinto station wagon with mag wheels.
Because you know a teenage girl really needs a station wagon.
Teenage girls also need to share an apartment with guys too.
Did both, had a blast and my granddaughter wonders why she can't get away with anything around me.
We listened to everything from Led Zeppelin to Def Leppard. Oh course, I was usually either the youngest or the oldest of the core group.

I can remember the noise of dial-up, too. We started with a Commodore 64. A cousin of my mother was somewhat of a hacker and we had loads of games. In 1990s that was our game computer. My father got an Apple Macintosh SE, which came with a teacher who came to the house a couple of times to teach my father how to use it. Until 1998 we had various (older) Apples. Then my father gave in and bought a Windows machine, mostly because back then our bookkeeper worked with software that wasn't available for the Mac. And also because my sister and I wanted to be able to play the games our friends were playing.
