geoschmo is on a distinguished road
Default OT: Complete the following statement, "My first computer was a..."

...A Timex Sinclair ZX1000. Z-80 processor, 4 Mhz, 2K (Yes, K!) RAM, no disk drive, not even a floppy. They sold a tape drive for it, but I never got one. PLastic Membrane keyboard.

Hooked up to your TV's VHF input for a display if I recall correctly. This was before TV's had Cable jacks and AV inputs mind you.

Booted up into Basic from a ROM chip. Now your cookin' with gas!

For those under 30, just imagine your digital watch with a keyboard and you'll about have the idea of the awesome processing power from this baby.
