My worst computer had to be my Commodore 64. Sure, it may have been hi tech at the time - but I remember using that #&%@!^%# cassette dataloader for games.

Loading "Dragonrides of Pern" took 25 minutes. One glitch and you had to start over again. ARRRGGGHH !! I got a disk drive for the C64 eventually. It cost more than the computer did, it was the size of large shoebox, and wasn't much faster than the tape drive ...

At least my 486 came with a hard drive !!
