Sinclair Spectrum AKA the 'TIMEX TS-2068' in NA, except they were slightly different.

3.5Mhz Zilog Z80
48K RAM (Shared with screen buffer)
Audio Tape Storage (loads per 90min Cassette)

My 1st was a Apple IIe (1mhz CPU) back in 1985. Then in 1986 I upgraded to the Apple IIGS (2.5Mhz or something close to that).

I still have both the IIe and IIGS to this day. They haven't ran in 15 or so years though. I also used to use the IBM 5150 alot back in 1982, but it wasn't mine. That was my first experience with a PC.

Remember Hunt the Wumpus? I should've known at that time that I would be addicted to computers for life.
