Made my first retro purchase to be delivered to the new house but have not got any retro gear out and sorted to get up and running again yet.

@rubber_jonnie this was the one I was trying to describe at the computer event in Cambridge but got it mixed up with an Einstein.

It's actually an Enterprise 64 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_(computer)

I also find it funny its OS is the EXOS - one X away from the man himself @exxos :)

Nice, another one I'd like but after buying the Aquarius, 600XL and Ultrasonic cleaner, I need to step back a little :)

Plus I'm likely to be buying a Toshiba HX10 next month!!

I remember the Enterprise when it was announced, and I really wanted one, but they were a bit expensive, so I stuck with my Spectrum and then my A8s.

Be nice to see some pics when it arrives, if you're not too busy unpacking stuff.

Nice purchase @Icky , the enterprise is on my must have list.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Ah yes, I was after one of those back before the ST was released...but the delays meant I ended up waiting for the 1040 STF.

I was going to get the 520STM but uni expenses...well, ok the beer bill ;)...meant that the 1040 was announced by the time I'd saved up enough funds for the 520 so it made sense to wait a bit longer & get the 1040 with SM125...

Would be a nice addition to the collection but I doubt it will ever fall into my price bracket now. :(

Yeah, but worth every penny IMHO, as is your Enterprise.

Looking forward to the pics when you have time :)
