Title: Message
I started with a Dragon 32 spending hours copying code out of a mag and making loads of mistakes......
Acorn electron later with the PLUS pack, external floppy
 
My dad then bought a top of the range, spending in excess of £1500, and from a computer show. An Olivetti 286 12.5Mhz, 1Mb Ram.
 
He could of had either a 20Mb or 40Mb hard disk, but went for the 20Mb as the guy at the show said that "You'll NEVER fill 20Mb"!!!!!..............
