shortly after one of my grandmothers died, my mother inherited so we could afford a computer. it was a performa 5300, don't remember exactly when it was... |

TI-99/4A (1981) - it took solid state cartridges, hence the games were expensive, hence it lost out to atari, hence it went bankrupt in 1984. but the graphics were arcade quality, much better than the average speccy. unfortuanetly there were very few of them. |

my Dad used to use an old Kaypro that had a gray metal on the monitor and displyed only green characters on a black background. There was a rip-off PacMan game called 'Catchem' we used to play together and it was a letter 'C' eating periods. No clue what year though.. mid eighties? |

My first computer was a Macintosh IIsi, which I think was around 1992 or 1993. I thought the thing was so cool. Especially when we got a quad-speed cdrom drive for it. I was mezmerized by the ability to watch tiny video clips on the computer. I wish I still had it, it was a nice little machine. |
||||||||

the MacIIfx was THE machine. A giant brute with immense power for its time. |
||||||||

ZX Speccy 48K - 1 month before I was born (1982). I was sat at it almost before I could talk :) I didn't learn to load games till I was 4/5 though, and I didn't learn how to redefine keys till I was 6/7... Phiz: My mate bought and Oric with about 30 games, the power pack blew up, first time he used it! Jand: Re speccy loading noise- We had a friend of the family who became a complete wizard due to the speccy, he could tell what a program did just by the loading noise. He got really good at programming and by the time he was at college they were using converters he's written! I remember spending hours mapping out Atic Attack with my old man and also writing really simple programs from magazines and hacking around with them. Got me into bad havits though- by 6th form when we started doing basic me and my mate were still using GOTO commands, completely unaware of the for-loop revolution. The teacher said it was the first year they'd had this problem and that it must of been due to our age group being the first to have home computers from a young age. |
