My Computer / Console History

I thought it might be fun to document the computers I’ve had over the years. I always find it fascinating to see the route others took into computing, but then maybe that’s just me.

  1. ZX Spectrum 48k
  2. Amstrad PC 1640
  3. Atari STE 520
  4. Atari STE 1040
  5. PC Amstrad 286
  6. PC 386 DX 40Mhz
  7. Pentium P90
  8. Commodore Laptop Pentium 60Mhz
  9. Pentium 2 200Mhz
  10. Apple iMac G3 300Mhz
  11. Pentium 3 500Mhz
  12. Apple Quicksilver PowerMac G4
  13. Acer TravelMate 240 Laptop
  14. Sony Vaio
  15. Apple iMac Intel Core 2.0 Ghz
  16. Asus Eee PC 701
  17. Apple Macbook (Unibody) 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

Then there are the games consoles..

  1. Atari 2600
  2. Megadrive (Genesis)
  3. Gameboy
  4. SNES
  5. Saturn
  6. Gameboy Color
  7. Playstation
  8. N64
  9. Atari Lynx
  10. Atari Jaguar
  11. GBA
  12. Dreamcast
  13. Playstation 2
  14. GBA SP
  15. GameCube
  16. Neo Geo Pocket
  17. XBox
  18. DS
  19. Gameboy Micro
  20. XBox 360
  21. GP2X
  22. PSP

That list doesn’t include the multiple times I’ve bought the same console (the different coloured versions of of the GBA SP or the smaller versions of the Megadrive, Playstation, DS and GBA) or the numerous times those various PC’s were upgraded.

It’s scary to think how much I must have spent on this stuff over the years.
