'''My personal Comments about my first home computer: Amstrad CPC 464'''<br>
<br>
Around 1986, my dad have spent £399.99 for it as he saw the Amstrad CPC 464 in "[https://cpcrulez.fr/f/94xx6 Amstrad Software & Peripheral Catalogue 1986]", as he decide to buy it from Curry's which is nearer for him and he asked my second brother, Daniel to pushed the trolley from Curry's to my house. Originally, he has bought a first home computer for us (me and my two older brothers - James & Daniel) to use it for entertainment. But it turns out in the end that he has bought it only for me as no-one else in the family knows how to use a computer except me, as he knows that I like interesting bits e.g. books with pictures inside such as [https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Spot+the+Dog+books Spot the Dog books] - Where's Spot? by Eric Hill, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Very_Hungry_Caterpillar The Very Hungry Caterpillar] by Eric Carle, [https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0723247706?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_thcv_0&storeType=ebooks The Tale Of Peter Rabbit] by Beatrix Potter, [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Paddington-Takes-Bath-Michael-Bond/dp/0001945181 Paddington Takes a Bath] by Michael Bond, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladybird_Books#The_classic_Ladybird_book classic Ladybird books], Instruction Manuals, etc or playing around with electrical equipment. In those days, the Amstrad CPC 464's was one of the best computers when it first came out on the market. <br>

It was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad_CPC_464 Amstrad CPC 464] with a [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/CTM640/CTM644 colour monitor], [http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/38126/Amsoft-Joystick-Model-JY1/ Amsoft JY1 Joystick], [[Amstrad_LP-1_light_pen|Amstrad LP-1]], [[Amstrad_MP1/MP2_modulator|Amstrad MP-1]], [http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/13190/Cheetah-125-Joystick/ Cheetah 125+ Joystick], [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/User_Manual manual], [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Demonstration_tape_or_disc welcome tape] - Spanish version and a box containing over £100 worth of games including [[Tubaruba]], [[3D Grand Prix]], [[Tank Command]]. I got very excited at first, jumping up and down for joy, full of excitement and I couldn't wait to set-up the computer and start playing every computer game that came with this computer. I always on the computer everyday non stop. Even since then, my learning abilities started to grow and grow, while I was hooked on playing on the computer, going to my near by library to brought and copying Amstrad CPC games as they have the same computer as me. We were the first ones to buy this computer in my area, after James's friends come and play on the computer with me, they started to copy my dad's idea and buy the same computer as us, except they couldn't afford to buy the colour version, which is too expensive for them to buy, instead they got the green screen version.<br>
