I have a working Amstrad PC 1512 DD as well if anybody is interested in PC pre-history!
Argh ! They were the ones that had the PSU for the machine built into the monitor weren't they ?
That said as far as I can recall, unless you consider a nasty machine that Olivetti sold (called the PC1 I think) they were one of the first X86 compatible machines sold that was available for a home users budget.
While we are being all nostalgic, does anybody else remember the PPC640 laptop that ran off D cell batteries and had an (non backlit) mono LCD screen, I remember desperately wanting one of those when they came out.
