That significantly predates the Mac - well, by five years but things moved fast in those days. My parents still have one of those at home. It hasn't been switched on in decades.

My parents bought ours in 1980 and I also learned to program on it. Actually, it was a 3016 when they bought it because "16k is plenty" according to my Dad. They later upgraded it to 32k.
