Our First Home Computers

[Pimander]

I really like the Commodore 64 (8bit machine).  It was well made and had the same sound chip as the Atari ST so it was ahead of the game (16bit).

When I think about it I cannot believe how far we have come.  Where will we be in another 25 years?  Mind boggling.

My first Computer was a ZX81 Kit sold by a local Electronics retailer (Dick Smith). It was based on the Sinclair ZX80 (Zilog Z80 Chip) and had a monochrome Monitor with a tape drive. It booted to a BASIC Interpreter and you could also do Assembly and C on it.
I still have it and it still works

Have used many different Processors since then, from Desktop to Embedded types, but I will always remember that first one

I remember it.  1Kb of memory built in.  I think you could buy a RAM pack upgrade to make it 16Kb. 

My Commodore 64 was still working but I haven't seen it for a while so may have lost it along the way.
