IBM PC Jr.
The IBM PC Jr. was the machine that introduced a lot of people to computers at a time when most people didn't have a clue as to how to turn on a computer, much less use one. The Jr. was my first computer. There were a number of cool software packages available at the time. In addition, you had to teach yourself Basic programing so you could write simple programs for your personal or business use.

I don't know why, but I would love to get a PC Jr. case and put a new monster mother board and processor into it. Finding a power supply that would fit into the case might be a problem. The original Jr. power supply was actually built into the 110 volt electrical cord.

And I might have to also upgrade the 16 color monitor. It would be cool to be able to put a new technology video system into a PC Jr monitor case.

No, I'm not really crazy. I am just retired and bored.
