My mom bought this for me when I was around 10 years old. It was my favorite piece that went well with ATP Flight Simulator Game I learned how to get a clearance and what atis was in 1992 from that game.

Nope Man, I'm old enough to be able to bragg about having used Mosaic and Netscape. I had servers connected to a T1 running in one of my shops in the early 90's...
Speaking of the Buran - the last episode of the second season of “For All Mankind” is one of the finest episodes in all of sci fi.

My first computer was a sharp Handheld two line LCD. I learned BASIC programing with it, I later got a commodore VIC20, a whooping 20k ram memory, upgraded to a VIC64 - 64K RAM (color) I still remember the price ($199) and the excitement rushing home to connect it to my TV. I purchased a floppy drive if I remember well it was a 1541, 5 1/4 single sided 160K, made tons of noise seeking the requested track and took up to a couple of mins to transfer the data . In later years I got a Amiga 2000, my first multimedia computer and a video toaster (I was shooting weddings etc... while in college). The good O'll days of computing .

Rabid HP enthusiasts. You weren’t someone unless you’re calculator was hand built by Bill Hewlett, hand delivered by Dave Packard and polished to a high sheen with the milk of the South American nik-nik bug.
Ha!
I remember something about having to type / enter data backwards from how normal human brains operate (that's "assuming" engineer brains are sort of "normal".)
Edit to add:
"Reverse Polish Notation" is the perfect descriptor...
Edit,edit to add:
Actually there were engineer types that liked HP...
Strange dudes, all of us...

The family shared the TRS-80, when my dad didn't have it torn apart. This was my first computer.

I had the newer release of that in green camo. I think it’s actually still mine, though my youngest brother ended up with most of the GI Joes.
