I grew up in Hamburg / Germany, but live and work in the US these days. Back then in the 80ies as a teenager, my first micro was an Amstrad ("Schneider") CPC 464 which I got for my confirmation in 1985, so I was educated by and with British microcomputers
Recently, my interest in other UK micros has resurfaced, and I got myself a couple of Speccys. For some reason, the BBC Micro wasn't on my radar until recently - I guess they were always a bit pricey on Ebay. By now, I have 2 BBC Micro B and an Electron here, with GoSDC and a TurboMMC, and I am slowly begining to realize how advanced and versatile (!) this machine was / is with all its (GPIO)IO, EPROM etc. capabilities, and how it influenced a whole generation of hackers (ie, Eben Upton etc.) Currenlty, I am trying to fix / repair my second BBC micro and I am already amazed at the responsiveness and level of expertise of members on this board!
