I am into Bally arcade(my first computer in 1978).


Really?  Wow... that was wasn't too common, but yeah, same here.  Bally Professional Arcade was the first electronic hook-to-TV game/console/computer I was exposed to, as well.  Somehow during all the rebranding and mismanagement, it got known almost exclusively as Astrocade.  (Even though I don't think it was ever formally called that, somehow that is the name it seems to have landed with.)  I learned about programming from Bally Basic.  Which explains a lot about my coding skills, really.  WHAT?  :lol:

Also, C64/128.  My first real computer.  Still have a small C64 setup, though nothing like back in the day.

Also old MIPS SGIs.  I remember thinking how cool they were back in the day, and if you look around a bit, there are some beautifully preserved and very affordable models out there.

And, I just trimmed my Amiga collection down to a reasonable size.  Which is to say it's still nice, just not completely overpowering, anymore.
