It was a Texas Instruments computer and was little more than a glorified calculator. By 1988 though I was regularly using a desk top computer and programming in basic myself.
The first computer I used was in 1977 when I was about twelve. It was a TRS-80 and then an Apple II both with 4K of memory. The first computer I ever owned was a Timex-Sinclair computer with a 16K memory expansion. It had nothing to do with economics, in my case, the personal computer simply didn't exist before that time.
I would have access to anything with a mouse and graphics until about a decade after that.

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action. -- Ludwig von Mises
