I've still got a C64 and an Atari 1040 in my loft. I won't get rid of them, I don't know why.

The first PC x86 i used was this a Toshiba T1200 (very advanced for its time)
http://www.old-computers.com/museum/...asp?st=1&c=917

It had a display like a dot matrix printer, no backlight, CGA via an external monitor. It was briliant at the time, way better than my BBC.

My first computer before the one above was a BBC (cant remember is it was an A or B) i had the twin 51/2in floppy drives with it. I still have it in a box.
