Belle Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 We had a ZX80 at home - it was my Dad's. But my first computer of my own was an Amstrad, trying to remember the model name, PCW180? something like that. It was basically just a word processor, or it was as far as I was concerned. With strange shaped floppy discs, green text on a black screen. I typed my dissertation on it in 1988! I dont know how much it was, I had it given second hand. The printer was a dot matrix and very slow, it makes you really respect your laser printer when you remember those old ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Remember that you can still relive the golden days by downloading a free emulator for your favourite machine. If it's a Spectrum, I heartily recommend http://www.worldofspectrum.org for Spectrum emulators and games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done this for the Amiga and C64 and found it tarnished my fond memories of these games I used to love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjay03 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Oooohhhhhh tekkies!!! My first was a Spectrum 48k and not the rubber keyed one either!!! I then graduated onto a Commodore 64, then that became an Amiga 600 which became a Pentium P75 pile of bobbins which in turn became a TIME AMD500, which in turn became a Satellite Laptop which became another TIME P3 1.2 which became an Emac (for 3 weeks) which finally morphed into a E-Machines 770 from good ol' PC World. I am not listing the amount of games consoles I have owned (some of which I have owned two or three times over). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upholder Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 ZX spectrum for me, the one with the rubber keys. I used to write my own progs on it in basic (I think).It was allways a laugh trying to load/save with the cassette player. No internet either.

alchresearch Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I got Prestel and Micronet 800 (glorified interactive teletext system) for my Speccy back in 1987. It ran at the terrific speed of 75bps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
