My very first "proper" computer

[Irinikus]

Here are some pictures of my very first "proper" computer, as my first "computer" was a ZX Spectrum: (I got this machine new in 1994)

I haven't restored it in any way yet, so it's still a raw machine.

This is a demonstration of the IBM 486 which I acquired in 1994:

Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

That's a great pity, as every time I look at this machine, it takes me straight back to the day I got it! Those were really good times!!!
