Wow, great to hear of the history that some of you have! I started with a
Commodore VIC-20 with a cassette tape for storage. Pac-man took a really
long time to load, but once it did, we just didn't turn the computer off for
the rest of the day/week.

Nice picture, but I call shenanigans.  Looks like a staged photo op with a
mock-up unit - does anybody seriously believe they shipped that thing
without a
shipping crate to protect that glass window that lets you see inside? :)
