My first was a Timex Sinclair too. I paid the extra to not have to solder one together
I remember sitting down with a magazine that had about 3 pages of code and eventually typing in a very crude space invaders game. Although the Sinclair was a neat toy for a bit, it never had any real practical uses for me.

Later I got a Radio Shack CoCo. Had some neat cartridges for it (and some text games & simple programs on cassette tape) but at the time the games we all wanted to play were mostly being grabbed up by Atari, so I spent more time with the 2600 than the CoCo. I remember hooking the CoCo to the output of my stereo where it displayed a spectograph and feeling sooo hitech
