    a spectrum, zx i think
    i only think it was a zx cos you always hear people say zx spectrum. it had a seperate tape-deck anyway

    first pc: pentium 133mhz, 16mb ram, 1gb hard-disc, windows 95.

    we thought pc's just couldn't get better when it OC'd to 166 and we got 32mb ram, which in those days cost an arm and a leg

    I think I actually might have had an amiga 600hd first, and then a C64.

    I shared the Amiga tho', and I still have that in my closet, tho' I can't get it to work.

    I had access to plenty of computers at work, and I could play games on them etc, so I didn't bother to get my own until PCs were worth having and were affordable.

    My first PC was a 16MHz 386 with 8MB ram I think. It had a 40MB hdd, but that soon became full. Hard drive sizes were fixed on that pc so I had to modify the bios myself to make it accept a 320MB drive.

    Actually, there was a motherboard fault which didn't affect what I wanted the pc for so I got the base unit free (they would have been scrapped otherwise) as long as I paid for the monitor and keyboard. I bought the cheapest monitor I could, a 14" single resolution job, but somehow a 15" multi-resolution monitor arrived at my house. I can't understand how that happened, I never made mistakes in the stock room.

    I'm infact using the same old case so you can imagine the noise, everything else is upgraded. This is about to be rectified soon though
