Re: my first computer
 

The first computer that we actually owned, rather than borrowing for extended periods of time was a TRS-80 MK1. Bought second hand, the guy who we got it from had retro-fitted it into a custom wooden casing to also include the micro drive and a home-designed soundcard (he was quite scarily good at electronics).

I`ll raise you my A2000 - 21MB RAM, Picasso IV GFX card, 2GB HD, 2x CD-ROM, 68040 40Mhz. Not booted it in a while, I assume it all still works, although the keyboard is certainly not in the healthiest of states.

Re: my first computer
 

Yep, or more correctly an Amstrad PCW8256 (PCW - Personal Computer Wordprocessor). That Pic could also be the PCW8512 with double the RAM at 512K and 2 disk drives!
