    Do You Compute?

    What was the first computer you ever had?

    Did anybody have the Commodore 64 or one of the other early models?

    An Apple Power Mac 8500 back in 1996, which I used to start this site in the same year. It had a 120Mhz processor, a whopping 16 Mbs of RAM, 4Mbs of VRAM and a-gasp-1 Gb hard drive. How things change over the course of a few years.

    The one I'm using now. I was a late discoverer. Before this one I only had a Psion-pocket PC.

    I started off with an Amstrad 256K word processor, in 1984 or thereabouts?

    I've never owned a computer & probably never will. I'd rather spend my money on records & CDs darlings (& cars).
