My first computer: the IBM PC jr (with the chiclet keyboard!) which I bought from my father's friend for $600. He'd paid over $2k for it "to do accounting work" but couldn't figure out how to run it. The monitor plug was not unidirectional and the monitor just flickered, so I called tech support hysterical that I'd bought a piece of junk. They actually called me back to tell me to turn the plug over.

R163 I sailed to Europe on that tub as a tot with my parents in 1963. Some vivid memories, including throwing up in the dining room and doing the twist on the dance floor. A ship employee gave me a souvenir bouncy ball that I had for a long time. And my parents said some Barrymore was aboard and he was a drunk.

My earliest memory is watching Spice World through the bars of my cot.
