PC comes of age!

PC comes of age![^] And it seems like only yesterday :rolleyes: If you started off in the dark ages like some of us, what computer did you have? I had an RML380Z back in 1977 :omg: State of art UK technology back then, complete with Z80 processor and 16KB memory - eventually I had 32KB which was definitely cutting edge. The metal case was so strong you could dance on it :cool: Alas, it got lost in a house move about 3 years ago :(( JohnJ X| Life is hard and then you die! X| http://www.rainbow-innov.co.uk[^]

Is this dark ages enough? A SpectraVideo 728 MSX . Before that I used to play on my uncles ZX81.
