I started out in the early 80’s with a Commador 64 and for some reason I remember the name Adam Computer where I learned to code simple programs. I then got a IBM XT with the huge amber monitor. hehe
I remember when we used the yellow punch cards and that little strip of tape to record on. After that I went to work in corporate techanical support where I had access to the latest hardware and software where I discovered my love of programing when I ran in to dBase III.
A couple months ago I bought a Dell XPS 420 and I love it! Being that I do a lot of multi-tasking my old system would frequently become unstable so I kind of upgraded and got the following specs.
– Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Processor Q9300 (6MB Cache,2.50GHz,1333FSB)
– RAM (4GB2 Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz – 4 DIMMs)
– Hardrive (750GB – 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache)
