A Sinclair ZX Spectrum from 1982!
This badboy has 84k Ram, and the first thing I'm going to do with it, is make it play the Nyan Cat tune.

For the ones that dont know, this thing runs on Basic.

I'm jelly. Because your vintage computer actually WORKS. I have a Commodore VIC-20 and ONE CHIP OUT OF THE MANY THAT WORK is BROKEN. And it's the very essential VIDEO CHIP :( Which also controls sound. Which means I can't do very much with it. Anyone know where to get a replacement MOS Technology 6560-101 chip?

Nice, I have an Commodere 64 at home after my brother :3

*Sarcasm* Basic is such a hard programming language! *Sarcasm*

Wow, I'll bet that Apple IIGS could use at&t's internet and it'd be just as fast as it is on any other computer!
In fact, it's probably capable of handling MUCH more than just AT&T's.
lol get it because AT&T sucks?

Are you sure that is a Sinclair? It may just be a keyboard for a ZX Spectrum. Not sure though. I was more of an Atari 400/800 man in the day. ;-)

Swanky! I always loved old systems like these (then again the first computer I believe I ever used was an Apple ][)

My favorite computer out of all the ones I currently own, is my Atari 1040ST. STBasic is still my favorite BASIC language (although I'm also partial to BBC BASIC) and I've got to say its the most reliable computer I own! ... On second though that says more about the stability of my computers than anything! :P

I have 2 ZX81 with bricked graphic chips and a working C64 at home :D

The graphic chips are so hard to get, because they are very easy to destroy (one Volt more and ...Boom... *white smoke* in combination with this power supply...) :(
