Our first home computer was a TRS-80 Model II, which used a cassette
tape recorder. (No, that's wrong, we had a Sinclair before the TRS!) We
had a lot of "fun" putting together several different control boxes to
maintain a steady signal but, OH the great day, when we managed to
afford two 5 inch floppies and could use Scripsit for word processing
and a Pascal compiler.

I've had a quite a few computers since but have only kept the replaced
model for about a year.
