Hello Readers

I just wanted to know what was the first computer you owned and when, It would be fun to hear back from some of you.

Here is mine and some info on it.
The CPC 464 was the first personal home computer built by Amstrad in 1984. It was one of the bestselling and best produced microcomputers, with more than 2 million units sold in Europe.[1] The British microcomputer boom had already peaked before Amstrad announced the CPC 464 (which stood for Color Personal Computer) which they then released a mere 9 months later.

I had mine around 1990 and gave my younger brother in about 1995 :) How times have changed.
I love these retro computers :) I think mine is still at my mums house in the loft. I will have to check hahah

My second was this weirdo from Sega and Amstrad. It was a PC and a Sega Megadrive (Genesis) rolled into one.

Coleco ADAM. Always liked the look of the CPC 464.

I've been wanting to do one of these posts myself. My very first that my dad brought home from work was the Zenith 286 Laptop.
