I can't believe the prices of some of these hard drives considering how much people made back then!

I'm quite sure that this is just a viral ad and not a real ad. As stated, Dharma is a fictional company from lost and that is the computer displayed there....

My first was a TI994/a back in 82. Then I begged for a C64 in 83 cause the TI was a piece of crap.

@SpykeZ Good old C64 with external floppy drive nice Smile
A youth friend of mine had one with colour tv as well, while I had a ZX Spectrum+ with bw tv, I was a little jealous.

This was the 1st computer I played on:



Tandy TRS 80 from Radio Shack, not really sure if it was the same model.
My father was a math teacher and during the holidays he could borrow one from the school where he worked.
Like this example it could be expanded with 2 optional floppy drives and then it could run some DOS version.
I created my 1st "Hello world" programs on this one and also played a lot of Pacman on it.
Btw next to the numpad you see a little red button, that was the reset button, very dangerous while playing a game Very Happy

the commodore had one of those handles too or do you mean something different? Had to flip it downward to even "enable" the drive I think
