What kind of computer does the average CP'er use?

I can load an entire 30 page document into memory all at once instead of only doing 3 or 4 pages at a time and having to swap them in and out, off the hard drive.

Look out world here I come.

It kind of went right over my head how much my public school was 'investing' in me [which went to waste somewhat, overall] back in grade school. But in grades 4-6, I was practically married to the school's TRS-80. I can't remember how many they had, but I can't have been a lot. And I would be on that during recess and rest period, any free time, after hours, learning the language and writing programs.

It was all pretty BASIC [punny] because the teachers really didn't know any more about computer architecture or programming than I did, really. But they let me futz around on it to my heart's content. Fairly rare for the late 70s, I'm sure. Probably had something to do with me being ADHD and a distraction in class as well.
