Here's one from left field for you: The MicroBee.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroBee
Ask anyone in IT in Australia who's in their 40s or 50s what their first computer was, and there's a good chance the answer will be a C64, Vic20, or the MicroBee.
The very earliest ones came in kit form, and then later preassembled.
They were an 80-column Z80 machine, that later came in colour.
Lots of love from the UK for the Speccy, barely a word for the MicroBee.
