As I'm an oul fart mine was a BASF Radio Cassette (with FM Stereo!:eek:) in 1972. I suppose the next two were the Sinclair Digital watch and Casio Calculator (first one for a fiver - around 15% of the average wage at the time) in 1977.

A BBC micro PC, it wasn't mine as such but I spent most of my early youth breaking it.

Great machine though. Wasn't that the one that killed off Sinclair?
