  One of my first computer memories. They were hand-me-downs from the high school (I was in elementary school, maybe grade 4ish).

  The trackball was the best, we spent a lot of the time just rolling that thing vs. doing actual work. There was a deep sea fishing game with rumours of a giant shark I never saw.

  I've been trying to get my hands on one, or an image of a hard drive, to tinker away at possible emulation for this very niche market, but they're hard to come by.

  We didn’t get our’s until the early 90’s. Must have been a firesale and that’s how our school board could afford it.
