Systems you've owned up to now... Are you Mac, PC, or Linux?
Curious about this.... I've been lucky enough to use/own quite a few computers over the years. The Amiga spanned quite a large chunk of my childhood until its demise, but there have been a few extras back in the day.
Here's my "computer-line":
So looks like I've opted for PC. Can imagine there's gonna be long lists Last edited by Grimbog; 13 October 2009 at 16:33. |

i'm all 3. They are all capable of failing in various different departments. I prefer OSX for "day to day" usage however.
ZX-Spectrum 48k (not really mine though) ZX-Spectrum +2 128k Amiga 500 CD32 + SX-1 Nindendo Gameboy (Original) Amiga 1200 - was upgraded to 030 then downgraded back Amiga 1200T 030 (a different machine) PS1 PC with Windoze (dont ask me what spec) PS2 PC with Windoze XP - 1ghz Intel Macbook 2.2ghz Dualcore PSP Nintedo DS Lite PS3 (with Linux installed) At some point after the second PC i put the Amiga's 030 back in the normal case a1200 I havent listed where i've had the same machine with lower (or same) spec twice, or where i've picked up "spares" from unwanting owners. |
