"Alternative" platforms as primary computers

[Waterland]

My first computer was an IBM PS/2 Model 55SX running MS-DOS 5.0 that I bought new in 1991.  I used that computer mostly for games until 1997 when I acquired a Windows 95 computer.  I later upgraded to  Windows 98 and ran that until a couple of years ago when the hard drive crashed.  I gave it to a guy I knew to fix it up for me, and he in turn built me a whole new PC from scratch with an Athlon XP 1500+ and Windows XP.  It still runs alright, although it has been giving me quite a few problems lately.

@Waterland: wot no Amigas??!  :-o

I just recently discovered the Amiga scene this summer.  I had heard of Amiga before but didn't know anything about it.  The first and only Amiga I've ever owned is the A2000 I found at a garage sale this summer.  I didn't even know anything about what I could do with it when I bought it, I just thought it was a cool old computer.  Then I discovered the Amiga community and all the cool upgrades I could get for my 2000.  Now I'm hooked.
