This is mainly for people who grew up in the UK in the 80's but feel free to join in.

When I moved to the US I ditched all my computer equipment. I couldn't afford to bring it with me and it was cluttering my parents house so I let them throw it all out. How I regret that.

I've managed to import a BBC Micro model B with a floppy drive and smart people have added an MMC card reader and now a Gotek plus an rpi as a co-processor. Snazzy stuff. I also got rid of an original 48K ZX Spectrum and now have one of those on the way.

It got me thinking about what else I'd like to own. I'd stick a Commodor 64 on there, of course, along with a Dragon 32, ZX81, Ti99/4A and a Video Genie by EACA. it's a TRS-80 type clone with a built in tape deck. First computer I used at school. Finally, I think, an Amstrad CPC646.

So, what retro kit did you get rid of that you wish you had, or what do you have that you want to brag about? Even better...what are you going to sell to me? :)
