Greetings from Riverhead, NY

Hi everyone, my name is Jacek. I grew up in Poland and now live in Riverhead, NY when with my wife we own a small computer IT shop. I do fix computers old and new, working with networks, etc.
I like all old computers and I'm a huge fan of the ZX Spectrum machines.

I have a small collection of vintage computers:

ZX 80 & 81
ZX Spectrum 16K & 48K
ZX Spectrum+
ZX Spectrum 128
ZX Spectrum +2
ZX Spectrum +3
Timex 1500
Amstrad CPC 664 and CPC 6128
Amiga 500
Amiga 600
Amiga 1200
Commodore 64
Commodore 128
Commodore Plus/4
VIC-20

I am still waiting for the ZX Spectrum Next Plus, ordered on 08/2020 and also own some clones of the ZX Spectrum too, like my two new babies - Harlequin 128k. They look so cool and nice!
I just installed LED membranes, so what do you think ?

Nice to "meet" you all.
Warm Regards,
Jacek
