What was Your first Computer?

[Monty31ot]

Mine was a 16k ZX Spectrum 9 years of age. I persuaded my mum to take it back to WHSmiths and exchange for the 48k model ....obviously had to pay the difference. Later 1989 I got the amiga Batman Pack and was gobsmacked how good the graphics were. Getting games from school mates copying with xcopy...great days

commodore 64 for me,we used to buy the magazine for the pig in a poke

Like so many others on here, I started of with Sinclair ZX81. The preceeding ZX80 was self build job and at about ?64 if I recall correctly. There must be a lot of old people on here to have started off with these ZX81'S--- he says !!!. So we all have something to thank Clive Sinclair for. I still have a ZX81 laying about somewhere. After the ZX81 I bought a Toshiba HX10 an MSX machine, and then bought an Amstrad PC1640 with a mind blowing 20MB hard drive.How sad I will not be alive in 50 years time to see the future of computers.

hORRAY so did I and there was me beginning to think I was the only one that start with a decent piece of kit.
Proper keyboard and well made.
The sinclair's were good computers, poor construction
typical of Sir Clive

This is what I had.
Commodore 64 with casette deck, disk drive and a printer.
This was installed on a drinks trolley so my father rolled it out when I was "good" and let me play for an hour. He had a cardboard paper with hand written instruction on how to connect it and load a game.

I kinda miss this stuff now when I see it.
Those were the days...





This is a joystick that I used.
I used to buy one every month. The were durable,
but not enuff to survive being slamed into the floor.



After a while some new joysticks arrived and they had a "click", a microswitch for every button and direction. We called them "digital joystick" hahahahaha. kids...

Damn,
this thread is going to make me cry.
Somehow I feel that the stuff back in the days had some kind of magic to it.
