I started with a Timex Sinclar... so...  :)

I use to think it was the 1000, but after pulling it out of the box, its 
the ZX-80.  The difference between the ZX80/81 series was the large flat 
area added to the top of the keypad.  Mine only has the keypad, the 
cassette and monitor plug directly into the back. I also still have a 
TRS-80, and a couple of TI99/4a's, a Comador 64 and 128 still packed 
away.  I'd like to get a Vic 20 to add to my collection one day.  :)

My first IBM compatiable was a Tandy 1000 SL with 2 Floppy 
Drives.  :)
