Consoles and computers I had at home, in this order:
Odyssey (early 80s')
Atari 800XL (mid 80s') -- extended with an external 5 1/4 floppy drive instead of the default audio tape reader. At the same time at school I was learning on Apple IIe.
Apple IIc (late 80s') -- extended with an additional 5 1/4 floppy drive and an Apple mouse.
Atari 1040STF (early 90's) -- memorable for being the first one I was able to buy for myself. I got the model with the excellent hi-rez hi-refresh black-and-white monitor then later added an extra color monitor and a joystick.
In the mid 90's I switched to a 386-based PC running Windows, then 486 and
Pentium followed soon enough. Around 1992/93 I was starting to play with Linux
Slackware 0.99 and in 1994 I started hacking using experimental
BeOS on a prototype Hobbit-based
BeBox. I only bought my own PowerPC-based
BeBox in 1996/97 and then later started
hacking using BeOS on the Mac-clone Umax
which I had won at the
BeOS Masters Awards Aug '97
for PowerPulsar. |
