I remember that because I bought my first computer system in December of 1981.
An apple ][+ with a whopping 64K bytes of memory. :-).  The other systems I was
considering were an IBM PC with 64K bytes of memory, (no software because it was
recently released) and a 48K atari 800.   I remember I passed up the IBM system
because it cost about $500 more than the Apple, and I passed up the Atari 
because it only had BASIC to work with.  (I wanted Pascal)

I still have and use the Apple ][+, but the keyboard is giving me problems.
(No, I don't do any serious development work on it anymore )
