Tell me about your spectrum

[Khephren]

all my mates had 48k speccy's. There were loads of games, but the graphics choices were: monochrome  (often old tobbaco yellow) or colour clash. Sound and keyboard were awfull.
I had a zx81, so I thought the speccy was ace! Games were pretty fast.

As a working class family in the eighties, thank god for Clive Sinclair!

My  brother had a 48k+ with the cool carapace keyboard, later I got a 128k, with AY synth, which was ok.

Once I got a C64 though, I didn't look back.

both my Mac and my Amiga were relegated to being used as toys.

I had a Coco and a Memotech MTX during the 8 bit era so I misssed out on it all

My studio still has a couple of Atari Falcons operational for stuff that is too timing sensitive to use a PC/MIDI/VSTI

wow. I guess your a midi boy through and through? ST was great for MIDI, and had great midi software.

But the 'toys' you put away had photoshop, lightwave, deluxe paint, quark express octamed, and the one we are all here for had one of the biggest freely downloadable software archives in the world (aminet), and the first computer to feature a digital soundprocessor.

Now your here...you might as well try them!
