Oh, so long ago.
Yours truly on our Texas Instruments TI-99/4A, late 1981. Ahead of its time in many ways, and doomed to failure. Yes, that's a television hooked up as a monitor and an audio tape drive for data and programme storage.
The TI-99/4 was the first 16-bit home computer, with good colour graphics and a sprite system that was the best available at the time. A peripheral system was soon available that enabled the use of memory cards, multiple rom packs, serial and parallel ports, floppy drives, and hard drives.
Using a Hewlett Packard 9825A at work and the TI-99/4A at home meant I was thoroughly enmeshed in the world of the personal computer. My wife learned to write programmes on this wee beastie.
Yes, I'm wearing a white cardigan. No judgement, OK?

Wat voor wilde verhalen ik toen wel niet gehoord hebt. Het is meer angst dan rede. Je weet dat angst een slechte raadgever is. #chatgpt #PersonalComputer #oudetijden

Someone needs to keep me away from #eBay, but isn't this paperclip holder cute?!
In spite of the listing being very clear, it is larger than I expected 📎💻 #IBM #PersonalComputer #PC #Model

Neither of these questions is rhetorical.

See thread: https://retro.social/@ajroach42/105397577137324735
Basically, the ESP32 is a simple microcontroller (that is to say, it's a computer! It's just not a computer the way we usually think about it.)
It's really cheap, like $3 or $4 for a simple board. There are folks making software for it already to treat it like a desktop computer.
It's not completely open or completely standardized or capable of everything I want out of my #PersonalComputer but ...
