Very interesting to hear about your experiences of computers in the 1980s! I love to hear stories about people using IT equipment back in those days. My current manager was one of the first female programmers in Sweden, and her stories are very fascinating.
I have never seen a Russian made computer in real life, but I remember the name Robotron. They definitely made TVs and casette players too! (One has to wonder how a company like that stood up to competition after the German reunification... Their products were not cool, but they were functional and cheap. But I certainly have not heard of them in modern times, so I guess the company went bust, or was bought for about 1 penny.....)
The first computer I saw was one my dad got from his work, to use at home. I think it was around 1982 and it was an Apple. Later in the 80s I saw a hobby computer that my cousin built from parts off a catalogue. It could be connected to the TV to play computer games off a casette tape!
In the UK all computer geeks over 40 get nostalgic at the thought of BBC Micro and Altair computers. They had to be assembled by the user.
