Mine was a home-brew Z80 machine with 64kBytes of RAM all hand wired. It ran CP/M from two 8" floppy discs and was used for generating the captions for game shows made by STV; the company for whom I worked back in 1979! I also had a ZX Spectrum, an Acorn Atom, a BBC Master and an Acorn Archimedes before succumbing to Mickey$oft and Windoze. I still firmly believe that the Archimedes was streets ahead of any PC, but just like the superior Betamax format was overcome by marketing pressure.
Oh dear. "Bungle" seems to have created a second thread called "Poser of the Day". We'll just have to keep bumping this one up the list so the other one drifts into oblivion. At least I know that almost 20 years of having to watch Rainbow at work twice a week wasn't in vain; Bungle lives!
Must admit you are quite right John: about the ARM architecture, that was used in the Archimedes. The following computers I have also had and used, Dragon,Commodore and RMC before progressing to a VAX PDP mainframe. Must differ slightly with video systems. Still have and use occasionally a Philips V2020. Another politically destroyed product.
Just checking in and I found this thread had descended to page four. What are all you guys playing at when I'm not around? This is coming from the free Internet cafe in Scotland's Secret Bunker in the wilds of Fife. If you are ever in this area pay it a visit, it is fascinating. Good coffee too. Back home on Wednesday.
