this was my first venture into the entertainment of computer games and basic computing. Well I say mine, it was bought obviously by my father in 1984 when I was 4 years young.
Its a beasty Amstrad Colour (wooooo) CPC464.
It truely was a god amongst machines 
just look at those fantastic colour keys to, brilliant. Bring back tape loading I say nothing quite like waiting 5 hours for a game to load only for a syntax error to pop up saying it all went tits up in the final 5 seconds because you left the tape slightly to near to the radiator

This is the very first computer I worked on in High School.
Always had to make sure you had a sharpened number 2 pencil.
