personal geek history
so it's been 20 years since i started out wasting my time with computers and i thought it might be fun to reminisce a bit. here's what i spent my money on (way too much, i know) since then (click the image to see them all):
- TI-99/4A 16kByte RAM and 256 colours! i was so proud...
- Atari 260 ST, added some memory, external dual 3,5" floppy
- Apple Color Classic, still have that one sitting around somewhere
- Apple Performa 450 (lcIII), also known as the pizza box
- some generic Pentium 1 PC with 128MB RAM, Windows 95 and 98
- self built Pentium III based PC, i still use this box every day
- Apple Powerbook G4, 15" screen, 1GB RAM, the height of evolution until the G5 was released this week...
Of course I worked with dozens of others computers over the years, had my fingers on almost everything from a Atari 400XL to a PDP11, but those were the original magnificient seven.
