I started programming on a Commodore 64, and was so proud of the technological superiority of my machine, which had SIXTEEN colours, as opposed to friends ZX Spectrum, which was monochrome. I was still using my Amiga till two years ago to do voices for animations using it's built in voice synthesizer. On another note, the Amiga was the only true plug and play machine I ever had. Everything since then has been plug and pray.
