7. My parents had the Tandy 1000-sx....
I think it was the first computer in the neighborhood that actually HAD a hard drive. 384K I believe.

I played so many games on the 5 1/4" floppies. It's funny, you had to have a rudimentary knowledge of DOS to use it too. Especially if you wanted to COPY games. Oh hell, that was a tough one.

My favorite memory is that they sounded like a garbage disposal when the disk drive activated.
