My first computer was a Commodore 64. I had a Vic-20 and a couple of Amigas later on but only after Commodore was long dead.
Did you ever have that glorious cassette storage device for the Vic 20? How about that huge 5 1/4 floppy drive for the 64 that over heated and quit loading at just the wrong time? My first printer was a Gorilla Banana and shook so hard as it printed, it tried to throw itself off of the printer stand. Ah, good times.
Fortunately, by the time I got my Commodore 64, I had some slightly improved options. I missed the cassette age entirely and while I did have a 5 1/4 floppy, it was the improved 1541-II model. It was much smaller, cooler, quieter and more reliable though not any faster than the older models. But I guess that's what fastload cartridges were for.
My first printer was some generic dot matrix model. I did manage to print out a couple of papers on it during my high school years.
