Similar story, although I wouldn't call us "poor" for not being able to afford such things. My dad however managed to get his hands on an obscure failed home computer called COMX 35[1]. Not much software, BASIC, same story.

I've always wanted to tinker with one of these PC's, something about using the same microcontroller as Galileo.

What was it like using it?
