    The ZX-81 I'm keeping in reserve in case one of you pulls a straight.

    Ha - I built a ZX80 (when I was 7!) ... Not only that, I had a Commodore calculator (red LED) somewhere.

    I now use a trusty pile of index cards and an FX-4000P programmable.

      ZX-80 followed by ZX-81+16k Ram pack, the one that used to sing to you when it got warm, followed by Sharp MZ-80k ( look that one up then ) Commodore Pet, BBC Model B then into PC's...

        I traded in my ZX-80 and ZX-81 (with 16K RAM pack AND thermal printer) for a rocking Dragon 32. Quickly went to a Spectrum befroe too long then an Amstrad CPC-464.

        Happy days.

          I had one of these - http://www.gondolin.org.uk/hchof/machines/oric-1.html

          Not much software ended up being made for them hence I started programming stuff myself at the age of 10. Thus I joined the dark side.

          Graduated to an Amstrad CPC6128 before moving to a PC, and finally onto a mixture of Linux/PC and Mac.

              Well, from the hands played so far it looks like the pot is yours zeitghost.

              The only piece of kit I had earlier (joint purchase with a mate of mine), apart various Casio calculators, was one of these Atari 2600.

                    Hahaha comedy. Looks like something I built a number of years ago with an 8085 at heart. It never once worked. Just made a funny burning smell and died after about 30 clocks.

                    Wish things were that exciting now.

                      I'm interested in obtaining some z80a's actually and some cmos 65c02's (and any ancient SRAMs like 2114's etc). Oh and some wire wrap sockets! Name a price.
