This one hurts.
Yeah, this one stings a bit.
It stings because it doesn't go far enough back to actually cover how old I am.

@saramg Did you actually ever own/use a piece of equipment that predated the release of the IBM PC though?

@zoe TRS-80 Model II, released October 1979.

@saramg OK, that one definitely wins. I could argue about something with an integrated keyboard like a ZX81 but even that doesn’t apply!

@zoe The Timex Sinclair 1000 was my first though, but yeah, that was an integrated keyboard (and actually was a later model device anyway).
