My first computer was a Orange+, and Apple+ clone. Then I went to college and used the IBM 8086 chip computer. ended up buying an 8088 chip running at 1 MHz with one meg of RAM (even though can only address 640 K).
There was no hard drive and I had two floppy 360 K disks drives.It was DOS 3.3 and I was on the Internet (no World Wide Web) at 300 baud.
Used to buy computer pretty regularly, about every other year or less, but I have some 15-year-old kid but this together this box for me. He didn't know anything about computers I just told him where to put what where.
Now I'm upgrading my I7 quad core running and 2.8 GHz (not clocked) with16 GB of RAM, 4 GB of DDR5 on the video and a 4K monitor with a 1 ms response time.Adding a 512 GB SSD drive to the existing 2TB Seagate hard drives
The fastest game I play is chess. But over the years people always ask me what computer to buy and I told them by the monitor you going to change the box.
To put this all into context the first code I wrote was on a 32-bit mainframe Digital Equipment Company donated to my high school using mylar tape.
Then I learned don't drop your punchcards and look at what I'm using today. Writing code is in my genes my dad wrote the code get the Apollo to the moon and then connect with the Soyuz rocket. Mom wrote code for the Orange County government Southern California.
Side note the computer is that went to the moon were 32-bit machines, three of them (triple redundancy) that is why we were able to run the code that got Apollo 13 back home, by combining computers.
Wonder how old I am in computer years? you want to hear about writing COBOL?
