    No, 47. Believe it or not, the first PCs came out when I was a young whippersnapper.

        Mine was an Apple ][+.

          When I was a kid my folks bought the TI 99/4A for some ridiculous reason. It’s interesting to look back at the weird hardware that never made it, like the cartridges that thing used instead of 5¼" floppies that were also out at the time. Maybe it reminded them of inserting 8 tracks.

            I think the 99/4A also had a cassette tape drive you could buy. I don’t think they ever made a floppy drive for it though.
