I had a vic20 also, I think it was computer #3, after the zx81, and while I still had my model 1. I had the pathetic vic modem (300 baud) that you had to unplug the handset from your phone and plug in the spiral cord into the modem. It was cool, had sound, and color, and basic again! I think I bought it in 84 or 85? A borrowed c64 when I had my first apartment in Garland. The turbo xt clone was built in that apartment and then loaned to you because I didn't have room for it when I was living on L's floor in Arl. after I left Garland. I didn't get it back until after my apartment with Skip. I remember the sound of Impossible Mission on Randy's c128 to this day. :)
Remember the old lisa I got from Computrac in the 90's? That was a blast, and the original mac128 that we gave your grandmother. She knew how to use a single button mouse almost from the first instant. I'd forgotten about converting your network at the office to a windows for workgroup setup with the DOS wg client. weird how I forgot about that until just now.
I've got Mikes model 4 and a couple of cassette based mod III's and a model 1 without an expansion interface in storage, I may have to go pull those out soon and try to book one up. Interesting note, when I sold my model 1 with it's expansion interface, serial card, accoustical coupler, printer, I sold it to a Radio Shack manager who was going to use it for his books at the store.... The people you meet at the sidewalk sale. The money from it went into building the turbo XT box you used........
