I started with a Ti99/4a, wich was a very good choice - Extended-Basic II was easy to learn :-)
After 2 years I bought a A8 and even for me, this machine became my favorite.
In 1991 I got my first PC - I never had a special relationship to this boring boxes and year for year I loss my interest in Computers at all.
1998 I bought a ST and a Falcon and some weeks later a 130XE ... my Interest rises again. The ST and Falcon are sold for some time - I bought some more A8.
In 2000 I bought a Acorn-Risc-PC ... hey there is a "next generation homecomputing"! It s a great machine. I like the OS so much, that I bought a "Iyonix" in 2003. This is a new Arm/RISCOS computer by Castle-Technology and and mostly campatible to the RPC.
A( and my Iyonix are the machines I m using most and wich are both very special .... I think the right choice for me
