Growing up in Belarus in the 90s, the ES-1841 was my first computer. I accidentally formatted a games diskette on it for the first time, after accidentally fumbling something in Norton Commander. I think I was around 6.
I was one of the few kids in my elementary school with a computer and a printer, so I was able to score some clout with the classmates, until a few of the richer kids starter to have access to more modern computers.
We had 256 KB of RAM until my dad upgraded it to 512. I learned to program using QuickBasic on it when I was around 8, I think.
I have many memories of this machine, and I would be so thrilled if I could gain access to it in the US somehow.
