Someone gave me a DEC Rainbow 100. It was a CP/M based computer, and even CP/M was a dinosaur, a dead language. But it came with a Dectalk, which I used to use with the Apple II/C some times, before I got the cricket. It was primitive and slow, simply channeling raw output to the Dectalk, but it let me use the Apple I had and wait for the Apple I didn't. I later sold that huge Dectalk (the size of three Macbooks stacked on top of one another--maybe four--for $75. In the 90's, I used a Braille and Speak 640 with a 1200 Baud external modem to do BBS's and my college's time-sharing network and Unix shell dial- up.
