I remember thinking these things were Dogs when I spotted them in the RDS at some show (Early 80s, I forget the year)
In secondary school they had about 8 Tandy TRS-80s, the monochrome Predecessor to these and one BBC (A or B, can't amember)

Are you starting a Legacy IT themed Craft Brew-Pub someday soon McTube?

BTW, Did you get the Cart slot on the NES sorted?

All you're short is a DeLorean and tight Jeans to complete your 80s collection!

A Dagon 32. This was the first computer my family had probably in the early 90s. Got it second hand from our cousins. We then up graded to  ZX Spectrum  when they got an IBM.
