When I was 7, my family had a TRS-80 CoCo. This photo is bringing back memories, it’s exactly what we had - a silver box with keyboard, and a joystick controller. I learned to program in BASIC, and we played (mostly) text-based games. It had a cartridge slot for ROMs, and we later got a 5.25" floppy disk. I would tap out lines of BASIC code from books or magazines, while my older brother was programming direct in Assembley code. A great family computer for the time.
