I didn't realise that you had to plug it in when it was turned off!
My second computer which really got me interested in computers was an Atari 65XE. I loved the old Atari, was a great little machine. Shame my mate's 2600 carts didn't work on it. I think the holy grail for me though when I was about 9 or 10 was the Atari 520STFM (my cousins got one on my recomendation and I was really jealous - in hindsight maybe they should have got an Amiga).
