My first computer had 48 K of memory, and NO hard drive.  When you
turned it off, everything you had done disappeared.  I plugged a
cassette tape recorder into it to save my basic and Pascal programs,
but that worked only about 30% of the time.  No monitor either;  I
plugged it into my TV set, and it displayed text only and then only in
all caps.

Dan,

I just was able to recall what was the first computer I've used in my life (not counting a calculator): Electronica D3-28. It had 32 Kb RAM, no HDD or floppy. It had a tape recorder built-in, which may or may not read out what you had recorded, and it would depend on temperature, humidity, tape... So, for the most important things, you'd better have a few different copies.

Here is how it looked (found it on Wikipedia):

Cheers,

Igor
