Close. First tape experience was a TRS-80. Later moved on to DATs on various Unix boxes, AIX, Solaris, Linux. I did own an Amiga but it had a 3.5" disk and even a 20mb hdd! During the c64 era I was on Apple II, also floppies.
Not to mention you had to type the whole freaking program in line by line from a book where the program was written out over 10 pages, then wait 2 hours for it to load from tape and if you made a single mistake you had to type the whole damn thing in again.
At least we have some proper old man stories we have to tell our kids about how hard we had it.
This person had a C64
