    ZX79? I thought you were a youngster.

    My first computer was one they were chucking out where me ma worked, no idea what it was but I couldn't get it to do anything and I had no floppies to run on it so it went to the dump. The next one was an Amiga.

    Mine was also a Commodore 64. Remember the old tape deck you had to use to load games? If I remember correctly, most games took about 10 mins to load.

    thundercats was impossible!

    then went SNES, N64, Dreamcast, XBOX, XBOX 360 (the daddy)

    the SNES is probably the best console ever made. it was released over 20 years ago and it's still playable. MarioKart is ****in class, as is mario

    I inherited it from my brother. The good thing about it was games would load instantly. No 5 minutes waiting on a tape recorded making funny noises for me.

    The down side was the games were really expensive.

    So was mine and I still have it, including the 5 1/2inch disc drive, not sure if you can count a Philips G7000 games console as a computer although you could get a hexadecimal programming cartridge for it.
