Dubai in the early 80s.

This was my first console! We had the massive text to speech thing that went on top and mispronounced all the curse words we typed in.

Also my first console, though I don't remember a TTS module. The only thing we used the keyboard for was word scramble I think. I was very young at the time lol.

Still have no clue how my parents got one, or why. My guess is off the back of a truck.
