LOL - I remember all of that too... 

One of my teachers in junior high brought his Model III to school one
day (the same one that brought a HAM radio one day) - he had some
math things he had written in BASIC and he had a ton of floppies with
some Scott Adams adventure games! I was hooked! LOL

So while my friends had VIC-20's, I had a CoCo 2. :-) They upgraded to
C64's while I got a floppy drive. :-)
