Which color was your first computer?

@Em0nM4stodon not this one but same model even same weirdly small monitor. The basic had computed gosubs and arrays such that I was able to write recursive code. Possibly my favorite code ever was a math expression parser that knew about complex numbers. And filling the 8k with digits of pi and e, using assembly. I couldn't view or use the digits but they were there. BCD for e at least.

Beigevengers assemble... preferably in basic.

@Em0nM4stodon Where’s gray though? Not that I had one, but Atari ST’s were distinctively gray and not beige.

@Em0nM4stodon My first computer was an XT compatible that came with MS-DOS 3.2 and GEM 2.something in the late 1980s. Of course it was beige.

Had to search because I remembered the computer quite well (TI99/4A) but not its color. (I'm somewhat colorblind and don't usually think of things in terms of their color unless I have some specific reason to.)

@Em0nM4stodon @Lazarou It was a bare circuit board.

@Em0nM4stodon My first was beige but I also had some that I described as pewter computers.
