I may have you all beat with my TRS-80 Model 1. Oh yeah, Cassette and
everything. To top it off in terms of geekery, Dad (who is an EE)
*BUILT* the expansion interface from a kit he ordered from a magazine.
Took us from the built-in 4K to a whopping 16K, and allowed us to
connect a printer *AND* floppy drives.

This is about the time that Dad taught me to solder as well...
