Man I had forgot about the III, i was offered one cheap, but luckly
had seen the lisa and had a Basis108 (it had both a 6502 and a z80)
that had the umph of a III so i didnt bite! glad i didnt since i then
got a 256K ram card for the Basis108 and i was the king with the huge
ram drive!
I ended up getting a no name 60mb scsi external drive for my mac SE
(like $1000!) and i was everyone's best friend around the department
since i could back up their 20gb hard drives to my drive when they
needed to reformat. saved them many hours of swapping 3.5" floppies
and got me lots of free beers!
does anyone remember the Sinclair Z80? my first computer to own.
whopping 32mb or ram and a micro tape drive (audio dictation tape)
for its storage! what fun!
if anyone has a users manual for the sinclair z80 i would appreciate
talking with you, i lost mine a long while back and would love to
poke at it sometime!
cheers,
Jeffrey Reynolds

We had Apple III (yes, the ill-fated 3 not 2) in the p-chem lab and
nobody knew what to do with it, so I got a free rein in using it.
That was a few years before Lisa and Macs. My first programs allowed
me to quickly check the correctness of calculations on student lab
reports :)
My first own Mac was SE but more memorable was a purchase of my first
hard drive a while later: close to $1200 for the whooping 20 MB
zero-footprint Jasmine drive. It was a big sacrifice for a graduate
student but I felt like a king!
