And mine just said ]▩ as it waited for you to type an Applesoft command. It is always weird when people say something is from "your childhood" as opposed to theirs. I remember the 1990s, sure, but I was already an adult.

Computers from my childhood wouldn't fit in my bedroom but I did bring punchcards home.

Mine said C:\>, because I was cool enough to have a 34MB hard drive.
