NEWS One of our most popular video pieces ever was The Big Question: What was your first computer?, first aired in April 2002.
At the time it brought in a barrage of reader comments as you all became dewy eyed at the recollection of your first brush with home computing. It also gave rise to a series of articles written by similarly nostalgic silicon.com staff.
Last week, the video returned to the inbox as our archive 'Video of the Week' and the reader comments poured in once more. For those of you who missed the coverage at the time or want to revisit a favourite article about a favourite machine, below are the links to all the articles in the series.
