The first computer I used was, I think, either a Commie64 or an AppleII. I forget. I was 3, so I guess it is forgivable.
My family's first computer, we got when I was 5. It was a Zenith 80x86 with a black and amber screen and a 20mb winchester HDD. I learned to program in GW basic on it. It also had an Epson LQ-800 dot matrix printer which I chucked in 1998 (13 years later) because I couldn't afford tractor-feed paper. It still printed fine. I had a series of 386 and 486 hand-me-down (including one with a 387 math co-pro) in HS. Win 3.1 on all of them at some point, although I sometimes removed it to save HDD space. In college, I had a generic Cyrix 586x233, replaced with a 586x200 when the chip burned out. Windows 95. I then had a PIIIx600 with 98SE. This was a good box. The case is in my living room, and the guts are powering my webserver/mailserver/etc. My first "workstation" while working professionally was a Dell server. Power Edge 530? It was like having a jet engine under my desk. After a while, I got an actual Dell workstation, and my life got much quieter. My current workstation is a AMD 1800 homebrew, which needs replacing/upgrading. --Ben Gruss Gott wrote: > First computer ever: Atari > > College computers: Micron win 3.1 & SUN workstations (college owned) > > First home computer/workstation purchased: Gateway 133mHZ Win 95 > > First IT professional workstation: SGI IRIX Indy and Indigo > > Current PCs (limited to main ones): Dell XPS/Win XP Pro, MacBook Pro 15 > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
