My first computer was a Poly-88. I had no monitor and no keyboard. I read and understood the instructions about finding a TV that used a transformer power supply. Many newer TV's of that day were not using a transformer for the main supply. I went to several secondhand stores and found one that would work. The keyboard was from a surplus Singer data entry machine ( I thought they only made sewing machines ).
Believe it or not, at one time they even made Flight Simulators. Early 70's I wanted
to work at their Binghamton, NY facility but like IBM in Endicott I couldn't even get my
foot in the door. bill
