Tandy MC-10 hooked up to our living room TV, and we had an audio-tape backup drive - ooooooooooh! I started programming an image of a duck against blue (water was gonna be too complicated) and ran out of memory midway down its body - the thing only had 4K of memory.

A Compac Portable II - which was surpringly NOT portable - thing was actually pretty deep and heavy!

(used my dad's Macs whever I could get to his office - an advertising agency)

During college, a Mac II with 3 linked external HDs giving me a whopping 65MB of storage - can't stop me now!!!

After college I bought a used 386, then a 486 running Win95 and a truly massive 530MB HD!!

Started making more money and from then on it's been Pentiums (2-4) and now AMD Dual-Cores.
