    At the time the Model I came out, there was no way I could afford one. 
I did spend a lot of time at the local Radio Shack, programming theirs to 
play music. My first micro was a Model III, with 16KB RAM and cassette 
storage.

    I've been slowly piecing together a Model I system, and now have a 
Level II 16KB system unit and Tandy monitor, and just picked up a 32KB 
Expansion Interface and all 4 floppy drives.  I'm anxious to check out the 
EI and drives.
