I would have to say it was an APPLE II. We used those at school, and they were so awkward to work with. Runner up would have to be a TRS-80 Model I computer we had at school (I believe this was in 78). That took days to load up games and stuff on the tape recorder drive. I was so happy when I got a TRS-80 Model IV computer with dual disk drives for Christmas in 1983. Resolution was quadruple the Model I and it was lightning fast. Eventually, I even upgraded it to have 1 meg of memory and a 20 meg hard drive. I even programmed the Z-80 chip using Assembly and put it inline in basic programs. Because of that, I failed Computer class in high school. My teacher didn't like me not following proper procedures. He got upset that he didn't understand it too. LOL. This is the same teacher that sent me to in school suspension for disrupting the class during a test. He had ordered us not to get up for any reason during the test, but I didn't hear him say that and made a mistake on a piece of scratch paper and got up to throw it out. Next thing I know, I am spending 3 days of in-school suspension because of it. I lost faith in our educational system then. Technically, he was in the right though. Morally, he could have been a bit more flexible.
