We had a Commodore PET in school, but our first home game system was the Coleco Telstar that my dad bought.

Then he bought a Coleco Telstar Arcade

Then he bought a Coleco Gemini

Then he bought an Atari 2600 before getting into computers such as the Commodore VIC=20, Commodore 64, Atati ST, before moving onto “PC Compatible” computers such as a Zenith, Vendex HeadStart (endorsed by WWF wrestler King Kong Bundy), then Tandy S/L or T/L and then we started building our own.

I count 9 cameras and 15 lights.

VIC=20, Commodore 64, Vendex HeadStart, Zenith (forget the model), Tandy TL/2, then I had a 386SX/20 built, then I started building my own starting with a 486-DX4/100.

First dabbled with Linux when I bought a CD from Staples with “Linux95” on it. It was just Slackware. Then Red Hat 4.0 and Corel Linux.

I have 2 hard drives where the SATA cable ripped the connector off. I just ended up buying new drives. I did have this happen on a motherboard years ago with the power. I ended up CAREFULLY gluing the port back on and never touching it again. It worked for years after that.

I nuked my Windows 11 and went with Fedora KDE, too.
