Sean,

 SD> Mr. Roach helped change the world.  My first and favorite computer was
 SD> my brand-new TRS-80 CoCo 2 my parents bought new in 1984 for me.  Sadly
 SD> it was stolen but I hope to acquire another CoCo 2 eventually.

  My first one was a TRS-80 MC-10 Micro Color Computer, with 4K of memory,
and a 16K RAM Expansion module. You used the TV as a monitor, and programs
were saved to/loaded from a cassette tape. It used a simple modem (with just
a toggle switch for ANS or ORIG (answer or originate mode) when calling
BBS's, CompuServe, etc., and a small thermal paper printer. There was no
mouse to it.
