@ Downix - trump not lest ye be trumped :-)
1977 - Ohio Scientific Superboard II (Challenger 1P series) -- massive 4k of memory. A 'Father and Son' project when I was 10. I pretty much inherited it after we built it, as my Father was a great hobbyist with electronics - he was no programmer.
When my Mother had a windfall in the early 80's (she won a fair bit on Lotto -- not by todays standards but enough for her to retire) She bought me a Vic20.
I later saved and bought a C64 - I upgraded this with old PET IEEEE devices to run a BBS in the mid 80's
In 85 I saw the display of the A1000 at the Australian PC Show and immediately ordered one. From there, 89 I bought a 2000 - which I kept (and upgraded) till 97 when I moved to the U.S.
My work keeps me slaved to the PC atm - but luckily I have a 2000 with toaster that helps me get some of my work done -- a clunker box runs UAE on Linux and Amithlon when I need a 'quick fix'
Unfortunately as switching equipment comes down in price, it's getting harder and harder to justify keeping the 2000 in good repair -- eventually it will go out to pasture.
Barring the emergence of a toaster like video product for switching, or something that can compete with Premier/Vegas Video/Avid DV Xpress -- I currently don't have any plans to migrate to the PPC platform.
Siggy.
