A Commodore 64. It had an excellent flight simulator.

And then a Lisa (the Mac precursor), which turned my off Apple ever since.

Ah, you american's missed out on these bad-ass mother-f*ckers. A whopping 48k of memory and rubber keys. Oh the nostalgia! Spending 10 minutes loading Manic Miner from a cassete tape, only for the screen to blank just as it loaded! All hail the genius of Clive Sinclair.

The ZX spectrum defined the 1980's for me.

I love how some of us musta thought the checkbook program for stuff like that was gonna revolutionize computing -

I remember those - we called then the Timex Sinclair - and as I recall, it had 2K with a 16K upgrade - LOL - yours musta been a newer model - it looks familiar.

I totally spazzed out the Commorore PET which was the first PC I ever really used.

i remember the time i had more gigs of HD space than megs of RAM.

i was running a BBS server and kept putting any money i could scrape up into hd space. i had a 13gb and a 27 gb for a total of 40 gigs. it was running on a p200 with 32mb ram.

that was my first comp..however my families first comp was a 486/66. i'm still running my 2nd comp which is an athlon 550. i'm gonna retire it pretty soon though.
