First computer, Tandy Coco 2 (TRS-80) in 1988 or 89.

First phone (other than a landline) was a Motorola bag phone around 1996(?)

My first computer too. That’s where I learned my first bit of basic programming. Used to get magazines with pages of code to type in. Always needed tons of troubleshooting.
