in reply to My first computer was...

geeez...i feel SO old seeing poll options like "iMac" or "pentium II".
but i'm still proud to be the first to have been introduced to the world of computing by my beloved:
Amstrad/Schneider PCW-8256
(Z80A @ 3.9 MHz, 256kb RAM, good ol' Black/Green monitor, and two (!) 3-inch (!) floppies)
incidently, it only came with the glorious (but boring) LOGO, some text-processor and glorious (and fun) BASIC, which is basically why i ended up here. there simply wasn't that much to do in Lesotho besides teaching yourself BASIC :-)
