[LM_NET] Gen: First computer

[Rachel Hinds <McQuita2@AOL.COM>]

My first computer was a Mac Classic. It had the CPU and monitor in one  small 
unit. It was marketed as a "portable" computer. You could buy a backpack  
sort of thing for it so you could tote it around. It was pretty heavy to carry  
strapped to your back if I recall. I think it had a whole 4K of RAM.
 
I used it in my classroom at school after I moved on to bigger and better  
things at home and still didn't have a computer in my classroom. My high school  
students affectionately referred to it as NASA! I used to tell them it was  
the first laptop. Still worked the last time I plugged it in about 3 years  ago.
