TRS-80 Model 100, which at the time I got it was considered worthless. But that's the kind of thing that adults will put into the hands of children who tear things apart, old gear nobody wants anymore. Found an old book in my school library on BASIC programming for kids, and used that to figure out how to play a few games I had to type in manually.

We kinda went backwards a bit, when we stopped building small computers that could boot directly into a language prompt. They're the ideal learning tools.
