And one of my 8 bits broke off - I had to simulate it with the other 7.

My first computer was an Atari 600XL. It used my tv as a monitor and I had a tape drive. I had to type in the code for my first word processing program. A few months later I upgraded to a Rana single sided 5 14" floppy drive. I had to use a hole punch on the floppies in order to record data on the other side.

P.S. Picture is from Ebay. My 600XL got traded in when I got an Atari 1040 STE.
