I had one of those when I was younger, and still have it.  Back then, we
had an old color TV set we hooked it up to, and used an off-brand cassette
recorder from Kmart.  About the only two fancy things we had then were a
speach synth and an Extended Basic cartridge.

Within the past 10 years, I have collected an expansion box with one floppy
drive, a Hitachi monitor, the official cassette recorder, and a few extra
carts.  The box came with some modules in it.  The one I really wanted was
the one that arrived DOA.

I played with it some after I got the expansion box, but have not fired it
up in probably over a year now.  It is sitting on a desk behind me.
