This was my first computer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_Color_Computer Got it for Christmas in 1980. Second computer was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_Model_100 and third was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_1000 I have the Model 100 in storage, and it still works just like new, taking four AA batteries.

Complexity is daunting today. I believe, however, that the power available far outweighs the total difficulties.

I am still inspired by the basic possibilities that most anybody can, with nothing but access to a computer and the Internet, write some javascript and html in a simple editor and make it available to most everyone in the world.

Objectively speaking, that's simple and approachable, far more so than anything I ever did or was aware of.
