There's this great website gallery of old computers
My first computer was this one. The Timex Sinclair ZX81. I don't think I was able to do much with it. It was a fun toy and I learned to do a little BASIC programming because of it. But I was never able to do what I really wanted to do, write my own Pac-Man clone, which was only available in the arcades at the time.
I tried to do it again on my second computer, the Commodore-64. It never occurred to me that I would need to plan out/architect a project as complex as a game. I was more interested in the visuals vs. the mechanics. That's when I realized that programming really wasn't my thing.
It's humbling to look at this machine and compare it to the 'supercomputer' Aluminum iMac 20".
