Capt Bob Johnson Tandy 1000 for me!
Radio Shack Mod 3 was my second computer (1980). My first was a Radio Shack Computer later to be refered to as the Mod 1 (1974) It had a 16 bit memory, with nothing that could be called data storage, disk drives had not yet been invented, we did develop a technique of getting data out to and from a tape.

Ben, did you lose your address book? If you did, I'll send you an e-mail so you can re-enter mine!
Mine was a Commador........

And to think my first home computer had a woping 512K of memory. and was called an IBM PC CLONE.

For the same money that Tadpole is talking about, stop by the Electronics dept at Walmart. USB Hard drives for $30~$90. Save photos, plans, links and such. I picked up a 250 gig drive for $40, way more that enough space to put my data. Easy to transfer data to second computer, just plug it in and it is ready to go. I even put one on the wifes computer, she backs up all her volunteer work data and takes it with her to different meetings and can show/update/print as needed anywhere.
