I bought a brand new 386 dx 33 back in the day, I felt like a kid at the chocolate factory in that smokey computer shop; price lists everywhere, floppy drives and floppies stacked in a complete mad-scientist looking shop. It was a mess. I thought "these are my people".

One of the best days of my life.
Yeah I had a little Carry-I PC XT clone with CGA/Hercules graphics, V20 8088 and an amber screen that I really regret selling.
I guess it couldn’t really do that much at the time compared to Amigas, STs and Acorns but there was something magic about my experiences with the PC.
Same. I had a used Amstrad PC 1640, which had V20 @ 8Mhz and EGA graphics. The author's desire really hit home here.
correction: it had v30, which was 8086 rather than 8088 clone (16bit bus)
