It was my first computer.
It is a great machine because between other things, it is dead easy to program it (I took my first steps at programing with it), it is dead easy to create your own peripheral/expansion hardware with just basic electronic skills, it has to this day a very active community that releases a couple of dozen new games each year. It is also very small compared to ordinary desktop pcs.
I still regret the day I sold my enhanced Spectrum 128
