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).

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!

Re: my first computer
1985 they came out, so I guess mine was a good 6 or 7 years old when when my parents got it.
