Age yourself with your first computer^ #RetroComputing   ^ this is the (actual) first computer I owned, but not the first computer I interacted with 🙃
A photo of my personal “battleship grey” Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer (CoCo), that I still own. It’s the very first model with the Radio Shack TRS-80 badge on the left-hand side, a black keyboard surround, and of course has the terrible “chiclet” keyboard that all CoCo 1s had.Two black CoCo 1 joysticks with red “fire” buttons, together with an RF (video) cable & a cassette cable that connected the CoCo to the cassette recorder used to save & load programs from cassette tapes. The cassette cable has three plugs - audio out, audio in, and motor control (used to start & stop the cassette recorder when loading or saving programs).A selection of “The Rainbow” Color Computer magazines from the 1980s, spread out on a table to display their brightly-coloured coversTwo ROM-PAKs (program cartridges) & a ROM-PAK retail box displayed on a table. The ROM-PAKs are EDTASM+, an Assembly Language editor / assembler, and “Dungeons of Daggorath”, a graphical first-person hack & slash dungeon-crawler game.

You may be familiar with Dungeons of Daggorath from the book (or movie) “Ready, Player One”.
