The History of Personal Computing podcast, hosted by Jeff Salzman and David Greelish, has a special holiday episode, entitled: Special Episode: Holiday Memories. In the podcast, holiday memories for various computer- and videogame-related gifts are recounted, with segments from several different contributors. I contribute the second segment, where I talk about receiving my first printer, a Commodore MPS-803 (and yes, I eventually got the tractor feed for it), for my Commodore 64, which was my second computer after the Commodore Vic-20. Give it a listen, and be sure to let us know your own memories in the comments. Happy holidays!
