Sinclair Spectrum or Commodore 64?

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81. I had it about a year before I switched to a Sinclair Spectrum and a couple of years later I moved on to Sinclair QL.

Some friends of mine had a Commodore 64. They were more expensive, better hardware, but less accessible when it came to programming, IMHO, at least using Basic. So my friends did more gaming and I did more programming.

Did you have any of these? Which camp were you in?

@[email protected] Spectravideo 728. MSX was probably the first home computer standard, big in Japan, but less popular in Europe. However, it had a very good Microsoft Basic, and I learned to code with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVI-728
