What was your first computer?
mine was a C64, it was all i had, and all i knew.
Load "*",8,1 cough…
Next was IBM PS/2 286 Microchannel, Blah! it was not a bad machine, i remember the monitor was a crisp .28 dot pitch.
next was Packard Bell Legend, 486 DX/2 50Mhz - this is the machine i did most of my real computer learning on,
it came with 3.11, got OS/2 Warp, Then W95…
If i could do it again knowing what i know now…
I think my life would have been better if, I had a plus form the beginning. (1986)
maybe up grade the ram to 2.5mb in 88, Add maybe a 20mb External SCSI HD, then 4mb ram in 91...
- in 1993 merged into a Quadra 605…
In late 1995 a merge to a powermac 7500 and that would have lasted me ( with cpu upgrades )
all the way to 2001 get a shiny new Apple Power Macintosh G4 800 DP (Quicksilver)
Skip over the entire G3/G4 iMac bull.. Skip over all the G5 bull crap,
right through all the way to early 2005 - say hello to Apple Mac mini G4/1.5, OC that bad boy to 1.68 a year later
That takes me all the way to what I have now, 2007, 17" iMac 1.8 C2D GMA 950 upgraded to 2.16 /w upgraded superdrive.
