Gen X, first computer usage was a terminal connected to an Amdahl mainframe at the University of Alberta in 1980, played Adventure and that was the gateway drug. First PC usage was an Apple II+ in 1981. Stuck with mostly Apple from that point on. Currently the proud owner of an Apple IIc as my main retro machine, but I’ve got a couple of Classic IIs, a IIci, and then a raft of PowerBooks (165, 520, 1400 and more modern) and a Cube. Nostalgia is a potent drug and we’re it not for my partner’s ability to say “hold on” I’d probably have a lot more machines than the dozen I currently own.
