Atari 520ST
They don't make computers like this anymore. Well, they wouldn't would they. They lasted too long.
I've described my first computer, from 1986, many times; 500k RAM, No Hard Drive, No CD/DVD Reader, No Internet etc.
The Atari 520ST was a snip at £970 (including an Epson dot matrix printer, a box of double sided double density floppy discs and a ream of paper). See www.flickr.com/photos/jakeyjb/5621576496/in/photolist-pyQ... Using it for accounts and word processing (as well as playing the awesome game 'Megaroids'), my whole life (for 11 years) was held on a dozen double-sided double density 375k floppy discs.
Finally managed to photograph it (or one absolutely identical) in it's final resting place - The Science Museum in South Ken (Oct 2014). Not sure about the coloured dots on the keys - that's defo a bit of customisation.
But the rest, as they say, is history.
LOL, as I believe young people would say.
