Ha! I had forgotten about the memory expansion and cassette tapes! Did you
have the tiny thermal printer too? I didn't have much use for the darn thing,
but my dad had great fun writing his own programs (in Basic) to track his
checking account and catalog his audio tapes. He actually hard-wired a surplus
full size keyboard to it and built a box to hold the small TV used as a monitor
and the cassette recorder for saving programs. I still have it all
somewhere...I didn't have the heart to throw it away! A home-made personal
computer.
Anyway - my apologies to the rest of the list for the brief computer side bar!

Somewhere at my parents house I still have mine and the 64K expansion
pack as well. I still remember typing in programs in basic then
saving then to cassette tapes.
