I was 4 when my family got a computer. All I really remember was that the storage media was a cassette tape.
My Dad worked for weeks to get the Cheers theme to play on it (using some DOS midi program I assume) and I remember wondering why his crappy sounding version took a whole tape to store on the computer while a regular cassette tape could store a lot of regular sounding songs.
