I loved my Atari 800XL, and while I had a few computers before it, this is the one I cut my teeth on learning how to program. Its hardware was really interesting and forced you to be quite inventive to get the most out of it.

I started with the Atari 400. It was quite fun to program, and I was a bit disappointed when the school finally got Apple IIe and I couldn't figure out why they were "better" than an Atari 800. They certainly weren't as fun to program. I gotta admit that I do miss 6502 assembly.

Predated me a bit with the 1040ST which was an incredible machine for what it was able to do.
