 BJ> for me my first was a BBC Micro and I still have it and use it. Also had
a Spectrum and Spectrum+ later. Amazing that
 BJ> someone here had a Coleco ADAM. Would love to know if it had all the
legendary problems it was reported to
 BJ> have had ?

I started out pirating my dads NASCOM 1 computer. we built it together and it
was a bunch of A4 sized boards that you had to put together yourself. I found
it amazong once we had the green monitor and the tape drive. I spent hours on
that thing.

He then had a PET which is what they were using at work. then obviously PC's.
But i was bought up cutting my teeth on 8051s, z80s z8s, 6502s :D

as far as *MY* computers, i started out with a ZX81, then a Spectrum 48k/128/
along with a couple of BBC Micros, with the logo turtle, teletext adapter and
a bunch of home built robotics that i designed and my dad helped put together
which all ran off the BBC.

then the '64, and an A500 then PCs.

my FAVE computer of the time was the Beeb.... i made sooo much stuff, and when
i ended up going to college (matthew boulton in birmingham), I actually
designed a sign board system that ran off of a BBC in Mode 7 and mimic'd
teletext. then i actually built a teletext emulator on the beeb that you could
actually use with a real TV and the teletext button :D

Now I live in the states i wish i could get a beeb sent over :D but trying to
find one is silly... but i still dabble with Z80s, 8051s, Z8s and of course
arduinos and pi's
