My first 'pooter.




A real keyboard! worthy:

Noes!!!!

THIS is a real keyboard!

Noes... that is an typewriter...   ::)

I did own a Dragon 32 after the ZX80...



Which had a real keyboard...

Then at work they had a Silent 700...



Then I went to work for a company that sold Motorola EXORmacs and Zilog Z8000 development systems...

The first real computer I ever got to grips with was a HP85



and then the 68K based 9816



That was long before IBM even thought of the PC of course...  whistle:
