That's pretty bad. NEC bought our Packard Bell and within 2 years had to leave the computer industry.

Ah well.....

First computah was an atari 400 - great but it actually caught fire!
- I used to do graphic stuff in gr12 and gr 14 - remember these modes? the pixels were 4 TIMES wider than tall - but allowed 128 colours!!!! Great for defender! and for adds/demos in shop windows...


First 'real' computer - Atari ST - Quality GEM...

First 'real' PC was a '286 with a maths copro - I think I used DOS 4 (horrid)

then dos 5 (great), Digital Research Dos (brilliant)
dos 6 (better than 5)
dos 6.22,
IBM dos 6.3 - couldnt run win 3.1 well

Each flavour fo windows was on my PC at some stage (even windows 3.0!!!!)

I used to to support for a local tech company (a la Technoid) and they didnt mind us 'borrowing' OSes (even sometimes hardware)....

got me xp pro box and a loverly Manrake 9.2 box now, though - I am really starting to find the XP box is getting used less and less -
