RE: What was the first computer you owned?
I owned a second hand Intel 8008 8-bit cpu development board that I got from one of my teachers at university in L.M. (now Maputo) in Mozambique, probably around 1975.

Then I owned a Sanyo MBC-1000 running CP/M on a Z80 processor, around 1980 or 82, can't remember.
Later on I acquired a Sanyo MBC-1150 and a MBC-1250 in mid 80's, bothy running CP/M. I sold them but kept the 1150 that have a dented keyboard and nobody wanted to buy it on eBay.

Also around early 80's I had quite a few Sinclair ZX81 and Spectrum machines as well. Great machines for experimentation at the hardware and firmware levels.

I will not mention my first programmable calculators here, as I see them as very specialized computers, and my understanding about what the OP is asking for is about general purpose computers.
