Which CPC do You have the greatest SENTIMENT for?

[Shaun M. Neary]

My friend had a 464, still remember the odd situation which lead him to becoming an Amstrad 464 owner which is a bit of a funny story

I can't be the only person now that's curious about this story now, surely?

Schneider CPC 6128

Some of my friends already owned a CPC 6128, one of them had a CPC 464, all Schneider Computers.
They visited computer lessons in school in the mid eighties.
I was given a CPC 6128 as a present because of good school marks back in 1987.
It was my first computer and because of that had a huge influence on me.
Unforgetable memories ...

Wow! I was given a book voucher

Wow! I was given a book voucher

I don't think that did you any harm.

My parents weren't rich.
But they realized my big interest for computers and the worldwide progression in the technology back then.
After getting the CPC 6128 I spent really much time with it for years.
And the good school marks went down for years just until I began my professional career.

[Anthony Flack]

Oh, from your parents? I thought you meant as a school prize.

[scorp6128+]

No, that would have been crazy and the best school prize ever.
I wasn't good enough for getting a book voucher from school.
But good enough for getting a CPC 6128 from my parents.

But let's not go off-topic.

Voted. It was really hard to choose! 

As a kid, I had the Amstrad CPC 6128, so that's the machine I decided to vote for. 

However, nowadays, I love the entire range of Amstrad 8-bit machines, from the CPC 464 to the Amstrad Plus -- it makes no difference to me.

Voted for 6128 as it was my first and only at the time.
But I would have a second love of GX4000 (seeing how it got zero), junky design but very good potential I think for gamedev. What could have been if utilized, especially the extra space in ROM.
