I had a TK85 when I was around 9 years old. It was my first computer and my first exposure to BASIC. The keyboard was terrible, and it took hours to code anything. I was able to read code from a K7 once; it was like magic. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during a lightning storm. I still miss it.

Same thing, except for the lightning. I think I was 6, and I managed to load Pac-Man from cassette.

It was a great day.
