▨ About me?!!
Computer nerd extraordinaire, I've been around computers since 1987. My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 128k +2A which I broke circa 1991. I then moved into the PCs having unfortunately skipped the Amiga :-(
▨ Loose pieces of computing hardware
ZX Spectrum Next -- 2 Mbs of RAM running at 7 or with the option of 14 MHz Game Boy Advance Sega Megadrive -- Streets of Rage, Comix Zone! Sega Saturn -- crap Sega Dreamcast -- my favourite console of all time! Nintendo SNES -- Super Metroid 'nough said Nintendo Wii (Modded) -- as good as the Dreamcast, huge list of really good and also shitty games and Metroid Prime :D Nintendo WiiU (Modded), reason to buy this one was the mighty Bayonetta 2 Microsoft XBox369 (Modded) -- Bayonetta, Bayonetta, Bayonetta! Sony Playstation 2 (Modded) -- meh! Sony Playstation 3 (Modded) -- meh, meh! Sony Playstation 4 (Modded) -- almost meh!!! Sony PSP (Modded) Raspberry Pi 3A -- home firewall Raspberry Pi 4 -- media centre and retrogaming station :-)
▨ Operating Systems I've come across
Good ol' MS-DOS -- it introduced me to floppy (flaky) disks! Glorious days of Windows 3.1 -- mouse better than typing Linux -- Linux is there! (first bumped into this one around 1994 or maybe 1995? when magazines used to come with a CD, I think it was PC Format. My problem at the time was, I didn't had a CD drive on my good Olivetti 486-DX2 capable of 50MHz so I had to make a deal with a friend and borrow his CD drive for 1 week while he practiced on my electric guitar :-) QNX -- it did fit on a single 1.44 floppy, with a GUI! Yes I know, crazy! BeOS -- so much potential Colibri OS -- ASSembler ftw! HaikuOS -- if it doesn't ask you for a password it's not really secure! Windoze 95 -- Xtra Problems (was quite stable in fact), ME, skipped Vista, 7, 8, 10,... MacOS or is it macOS? -- me and Macs don't get along, not since Exposé was butchered, but I did enjoy 10.4 everything else... mehhh! Amiga OS -- only in emulated environment, can't say I used it extensively but if I had gotten one of them Amigas back in the day I'm sure I would have loved it, Amiga for ever!
