For real tho! xD

My first computer was a Vic-20 (second hand). Even as a ten year old, I was able to type up basic programs too big for the RAM, at least without the expansion cartridge, heh. Long time ago, but I wanna say 4k and 16k respectively?

Our first was the VIC-20 and I definitely remember the 16K RAM expansion cartridge. I'm not sure what the base memory was though. We did the typing up of programs and stored them on the tape drive. Unfortunately my dad gave all the equipment away without consulting me first :(
