We don't seem to have a thread about computers from that period. I was just reminded of it by this article:

So, 70s and 80s, early 90s at a pinch. No games consoles in this thread, please. :)
We've discussed some of this in the video games thread and elsewhere. You can emulate most of them nowadays, but of course anyone who handled them back then will also have memories of the hardware.
I had a TI 99/4A, which I shared with a friend, and he then got an Amstrad (Schneider in Germany) 6128. Needless to say, we also had friends with Commodore 64s.
What did you have?
