In late '80s an italian advertisement company sent to almost all italian families a book where you could buy almost everything using Post Offices. A kind of amazon's father :-). If any italian will read this post he will remember "Postal Market". In the last pages of that book there were all tech stuffs to buy including ZX Spectrum, commodore 64, etc. I was 7-8 years old and I was fascinated about those things. I didn't have enough money to buy a computer. When I reached the right amount (my savings) to buyone, Postal market hasn't sold any computer anymore. I started in 1991 with a "12 Mhz 80286 Vegas Communications".

I still rimember the feeling when I was browsing those pages
