-=- The Computer for the Masses, not the Classes -=-

Over the course of four decades I've owned many computers, used many more. Most of them are ordinary. Some of them are legendary! These are Computers of Significant History. The timeline starts in October 1982, when the Commodore 64—my first computer, and maybe yours too—was released. I take a critical look at the computer that influenced not just myself, but millions across the world.
