I feel your pain when bills cut into the computer budget.

Ah, some history there! I also started back in the 80s with a Commodore 64 and a
TI 99/4A. In fact, I had hooked up the TI to a TNC for packet radio, AMTOR,
RTTY, and a little morse, although I liked 'real' CW better. Those were the days
of making your own RS-232 cables with some ferrite beads to cut out all the RFI
those computers threw off.

Enjoy!
