I still have the computer somewhere - a Sinclair ZX Spectrum - though it's so small I don't actually know the precise whereabouts in my collection of slowly rusting electronic memorabilia :)

The processor is a Zilog Z80 like this one:

File:Zilog Z80.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first processor that I bought for myself was a 100MHz Pentium. I think I chucked that one though, which was rather silly.

I just happened to notice the link, under:

Description Zilog Z80.jpg A very early version of the en:Zilog Z80 — note that the date stamp is from June 1976,
Being kinda nosey, I clicked... (Then, Wow!)

I liked the Z-80 architecture...
Took a mail-order course on the Z-8000, ten bucks, featuring "Captain Zilog".
Liked that one, too:
Zilog Z8000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There was both a user mode and a supervisor mode.
---The reported inclusion of the device within military designs,[1]
... In the early 1980s, the Zilog Z8000 CPU was popular for desktop sized Unix machines. They allowed small businesses to run a true multi-user system and share resources (disk, printers) before networking was common.
With Firefox, I "hover" the mouse over the 'live-link', and it shows the URL
at Bottom 'status-bar', on Left side.
Then I can determine if I want to 'go there'.

Sometimes it might show stuff like:

Must be down for maintenance,

Maybe even system backup...
