I started on the Sinclair ZX81, with a whopping 16Kb memory expansion module. Hooked it up to an old b&w portable TV, and recorded programs from the radio on casette tapes

After that I went to Atari ST, and grudgingly downgraded to an XT turbo (12 Mhz!) PC when I had to start teaching basic computer skills (I was a teacher in those days)
From there I went to a 386 DX40, then built a 486 DX66, then P133, then a P233, at which point I stagnated somewhat untill I built this 1.7 Ghz Athlon system. Bought my gf a much faster P4 laptop recently, for the Firewire DV capture option, but I'm still really happy with this one...it does what I want it to with a minimum of fuss.
