So we have a number of places where we share our car history, for a giggle here is my computer history.
ICL 2904 mainframe terminal (acoustic coupler to 300 baud.
Commodore 2001 PET (Calulator keyboard 1k RAM, cassette player)
HP 75a scientific computer
Commodore VIC20
BBC B (got a floppy disc drive ! Elite lost a year of my life)
Apple IIe (various) Castle Wolfenstein, wonderful with paddles
Became an IBM field engineer, 3080/90's and Mini's
Became an Apple field engineer, Apple II, III, Lisa, Mac 128 upwards then II (PC like range)
AppleCentre took on IBM & Compaq so i became IBM engineer 311270 (November 1983, 270th person certified in the UK) which was interesting.
Went into networking
Went into Mobile
Cannot work out whats next outside of Apps.
Don't forget all the AOL stuff that came before X11 and the browser ? I think my old Compaq field engineer AOL login still exists. Anyone need a Rompaq for a Deskpro II/286?
How time accelerates. A 200g smart phone now has more power, graphics, battery life and capability than a 10kg Compaq Portable computer as well as a typical laptop of 8 years ago.
