believe it or not, my first computer was a comodore 64 with no speech.
I could see well enough at the time to be able to read the print off of my
tv screen. I even had some cool games for it that weren't released to the
publick until a few months after I had them.
I'm still amazed that you could do so much with a 1 mhz processor and the
entire os was in memory.
I mean sure you had to load games off of a tape, and I mean audio cassett,
but it was for it's time very fast. especially when you put things like
dolphin dos or cocroach on it.
oh how I miss my c 64 hahaha.
