My very first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000 - 3.25mhz cpu, 2kb of ram and membrane keypad along with 64 columns and 48 rows of graphics. It was so weak that when it had to do a computation, the screen would blank out. Used a cassette drive to store data. $99 at the local Venture store. Man, I thought I was the bomb with that thing.

Yup! That's the one!!
It wasn't much at all but it was MINE!!
I parlay'd that into a college Comp Sci Class, then into a Comp Sci Major, then into a 30 yr computer consulting career!
Saw my first game, decided "This is for me!" switched from a genetics to a Comp Sci path and never looked back.
All cause of that little Timex Sinclair!
