How about an Exidy Sorcerer, Video Genie 1st and 2nd Edition, I've still
got these and used them all (not these days!), until I got very jealous
of friends that got Beebs, and spent all my life around at their houses,
until I was bought a Beeb by Father Christmas.

I remember that Christmas well, because I always used to take the Video
Genie everywhere in its large box (heavy as well), that Christmas I
visited my Grandparents, but no Beeb came Christmas Day! 

Very disappointed I decided to setup the Video Genie, and to my surprise
there was a boxed Beeb inside the Video Genie box, I never used that
Genie again!

Yes, a wonderful collection!

I would add a "proper" Spectrum to the list, though. The +3 isn't 
really a true Spectrum, and has a faulty audio amplifier circuit 
making it sound horribly distorted.
