OMG that reminded me of my best friend's Commodore 20 - which had no disk drive, so to play a game you had to manually type in the BASIC code for it each time before playing.
I remember having a text to speech program on my windows 98(?) PC that required me to type a long string of stuff into the command prompt. We had it written on an index card and I remember it taking forever to type in. Between starting up the computer, typing in the code, and having it actually load if typed correctly the first time, it was nearly a 30 minute endeavor just to laugh at a computer voice say "poopy butthole herpes".
Vic20. It was a big deal if you had a cassette player to record your programs on
Thata kind of awesome
That was my first computer. I see no point in buying one if you can't even have a tape deck.
