Your History

[Jaster]

As some people may have not read my last thread, which was about the birth of computing, I thought it may be interesting to see what other peoples History's of Computing were. I'm not asking for in depth personal profiles, I'm talking simple chronological order of computers/consoles owned from first to current, not really interested in specs just what u owned.

Heres mine

Atari 2600

C16+4

Dragon 32 (The Only Welsh Computer EVER)

C64, ZX 128 Spectrum, Atari CPC464 (green screen)

Sega Master System

NES

Mega Drive/ SNES / Game Gear / Atari Lynx / Gameboy / A500 (all roughly the same time 1992 -1995)

A1200

386 (25Mhz WOW)

486 DX2 66

Playstation 1 / N64

Pentium 166

Pentium 333

Playstation 2

Pentium 550

Athlon 3200 (and Geforce 256 Anhilator)

Xbox

Athlon 4800 939 (x1950)

PSP

PS2 Slimline (mrs likes final fantasy)

Current PC

PLEASE NOTE...this is rough from recolection...Ive slept some..I dont want any cry babys saying my chronological order is not right...because I know it isnt....its just rough and i'm pretty sure ive forgot some...and I cant be bothered listing every piece of hardware ive ever owned..if I did it would be at least a 100 pages long... Just think it will be interesting to see...I'm sure there some woeful tales of Jaguar Owners (just like my A1200 incident)...maybe I'm just a sad old fart who likes remembering yesteryear (Also I found Fantasy Zone on my Master System Emulator today and have been playing it for 6 hours none stop, zone 9 still eludes me)

Pentium 1, 2, 3 & 4 Rigs

AMD Skt A (Duron & XP)

AMD X2 4800 (Skt 939)

Core 2 Duo E6600

My current gaming rig is a Core 2 Duo E8400, I also have a media centre PC which has the AMD X2 4800 in it now. I have had a few consoles (bat and ball?, mega drive, playstation Xbox) but never bothered with them much. My rigs at work are all P4's and work a treat so there's been no need to upgrade yet.

Cheers,

Stu

Actually looking at PP's I forgot my 286, never used it though...i swapped my c64 for it...but it wasnt until the wapping 512K svga card of the 386 that I actually started using a pc...until my bro managed to get a full piece of toast in the 5 1/4 floppy drive (yes they were occasionally used)...things went a bit buttered up at that point....till i got me 486 with 1mb and we started networkingmachines to play doom multiplayer...roughly 1992...oh and netscape was preferred internet browser...sorry ive just swallowed a cobweb delving deep in the depths of my mind (cough cough)
