I started with a Commodore 128 and a 1200 modem using Desterm 128 terminal software. Played alot of Tradewars on that :) I still have the 128 and it still works, but is packed away. That old Commodore stuff was great, my first computer ever was a Commodore Vic20, which I also still have and it still works. The 20 colunm video looks soooooo bad today.....
