Commordore Vic 20, learned how to program in basic. Had the 16K addition in memory and the cassette palyer to save programs. I think it was 1983.
What was the first computer you ever owned?

ZX Spectrum 48k.
It was always breaking down. I would be programming for hours and someone would turn on the washing machine and it would reset itself.
It was a lot of fun to play with though.

the internet usenet mob I ride with is full of original geeks. Some even work for museums. One guy is in his 60's and has been in computers all his life, a few of them are lecturers. One of the colourful members is a full on geek, so is her mother......... Dunno what they use, but my first comp had a cassette drive. left it alone until my P100. I don't piss around with old computers, old cars and bikes are my thing Paging Animal to the gentlemens bar, Animal......

A ZX81 that finished it's life as a data logger in my soap box racer. Then a couple of 48k ZX Spectrum+, wrote machine code games on these things without the help of a compiler. Even wrote a cheat program for Manic Miner so that I could practice any level I wanted. Next was a couple of QLs if anybody still remembers them.
I still have most of them and the last time I plugged them in they still worked. Also have a couple of working Macs, a Mac Plus and a Pizza Box LCIII.
And I still have every laptop I have ever owned.
