[Aurel]

Mine was an AppleII europlus, which my dad bought me used for 8,000 francs. It came with an amber monitor, and a single floppy disc drive. I chose the Apple because many cracked games were available from friends at school...It is still in my parents attic in Normandy, I never took it back to its land of origin. I learned basic and machine language on it. Games had to be written directly in hexadecimal, it was the only way to get enough speed. I wrote funny little routines, like controlling the speakers with the joystick. Good times where things were still simple, like a Porsche 911 of the same era. At some point I upgraded the memory from 8 to 64kb, or something like that...
