Computing
Started using computers in 1986 while working for Post Office Counters
Supercalc2 on (I think) a Syrius
Then thought it was time to learn something about computing, so I bought an Amstrad CPC 6128 and printer. When the printer gave up the ghost I purchased a Panasonic 24 pin dot matrix printer. I can still hear the noise that made :-(
Several years later I was given an Amstrad PCW 9512 and then an Amstrad PC 1640
In October 1997 I progressed to a Time Computers Powerstation 4.
Powerstation - that's a laugh in these days of 1.3GHz processors. It's a Cyrix PR200MMX with 64 mb EDO memory. I have replaced the original 4.3gb hard disk with a 17.2 gb and added a Ricoh DVD/CD/CDR and an external modem. Some day I
will
upgrade to something better.
