My first computer? Anybody remember a big box called a "PC Junior"?
It had two 5 1/4 inch floppy drives and NO hard drive! I started out by learning something called Disk Operating System (DOS) version 3.0 and played "PONG" until my eyeballs hurt from being bloodshot every night!
Months later, I learned QBasic and was able to move on to some more fun things like saying, "Hello World!" Sort of reminds me of reading, "See Spot. See Spot run." But now I digress and am dating myself...
Today, I have many computers. My top three producers are;
1) (PIII-850MHz, 256MB RAM, 2775XDVD, purchased for Xmas of the year 2000) My trusty Toshiba laptop that goes everywhere I do.
2) (AMD Duron 1.1GHz, 1GB RAM, Off the shelf home built, configured, and loaded for bear) My "Base Unit" which carries the dubious duty of testing everything and anything before being deployed on any other computer (One of mine or of the ministry where I volunteer helping with their network, website and desktop issues), with the exception of my Linux machine.
3) (An older PII-350, 64MB RAM, an old 4.6GB HDD, which has had many different flavors, or distributions, since its "rebirth" experience) My Linux machine.
P.S. - Sorry for the empty first draft. I couldn't see where to type my post.
