    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
