I have one of these, got it after landing my first big tech job. I learned to program on an emulator of these 8-bit computers so it meant a lot to finally get a real one. Most people search for high level languages when learning programming. My brain worked different - I wanted to boil the complexity away and learn the fundamentals. These 8 bit machines were the simplest computers I could find to achieve that. The joke was on me though, mine had been upgraded to a Z80 card (yay!) that unfortunately no longer worked with the front panel (boo!).
