+1 - though I donated it long ago. It was ahead of its time and I too remember entering programs stored on tape.

The first work computer was an AT&T PC 6310 (as I worked for AT&T) with dual floppies - I added a whopping 10MB HD Card, an internal modem card and over-clocked the CPU myself.

First real computer at home was a Macintosh PowerBook 145. I still have the first Newton, works only when plugged in as even fresh batteries don't provide enough juice for it. Compared to my iPhone its like something from the dark ages of mobile computing - much like a Windows Mobile device

When I consider my 2008 iMac 24" Core Duo running Leopard its amazing how far we've come and how much more we'll realize in the future.
