I had a Grandstand 6000 then a Commodre Vic 20 follwed by a Spectrum +2.

I still have the Spectrum +2 in working order with 300 plus games and I also have one of these in the original box.
 
Commodore Vic 20, I couldn't afford the C64. I was too busy using my 'bits' for the population-explosion. After that they were all self builds - kids and computers

Like many here, from the ZX80 through '81, Speccy etc. Various others like Apple II, Vic 20, PC XT, QL on the way as well, until the PC took over.
 
  • ZX81 WITH 16k ram expander bought many a magerzine and spent silly amounts of time entering tonns of code for it to not work because of 1 error.
