First used a HP something or other, basically a circuit bord with a 4 digit led display, a keyboard and a till-type printer, then moved onto a PET, then bought a Spectrum for the kids.

Started out working with time share on an IBM 1100 with a high speed printer and plotter then...
Ah, a ZX80. Then a Spectrum, you know, the big one, with 16K of memory.
Actually, I shouldn't knock the Speccy in any way coz I actually ended up owning 16 of them. I took them out of the plastic cases and put them into 1 unit high rack mounts along with a serial interface and a turnkey eprom board, a couple of buttons on the front. They were rented out as equipment monitors and repeaters in navigation systems for ships.
Then PC's and Mac's

My brother got a commodore 64 one year, I got a bike. We spent hours typing in programs from a weekly called INPUT, none of which worked so I went for a ride and left him to de bug it :-) Later on we shared an Amiga. . . que awesome multiplayer fun, broken joysticks, joypads, noses etc. . . Happy happy days :-)
Number 1 pc uses XP pro or openSUSE-11.0  to make good use of AMD 3700+ plugged into ASUS A8N Sli 32 using 2Gb of OCZ memory, gpu is nVidia 7900gtx.
Number 2 pc uses XP home or ubuntu (Any I've thrown at it) to make good use of pentium4 PackardBell thing.
Number 3 pc uses xp pro or Slax or Ubuntu 8 to make Dell D600 Latitude do good things.
Don't give up on LINUX just read a bit more, then ask what you've just read means

| My first Computer : Around 1982 I bought a second hand ZX81 from a student but it had no sound and was black and white display, but I was keen to learn basic and play games. But soon realized that it was hard work entering code as the keyboard had no feel to it and no sound when the keys were pressed this meant looking up at the screen on every press of a key : ( and it would over heat in about 2 hours so it had to be left turned off to cool down. I was always amazed at the game packaging pictures of detailed space craft and galaxy’s in colour, but all would be on the screen was black and white dots and still no sound. Was fun though?

Like Bill Gates, using a Teletype terminal, to prepare punched paper tape for submission to the acolytes serving the valve-based Elliot computer in its special low dust environment, air-conditioned room, only to find from the next days line printer output that lack of fundamental error-trap code prevented my programs from working !
(eg is the printer connected and switched on before PRINT 'Hullo World')
