Lets see - started out on a Univac 418 and 1004 back when I was a kid - we had handwired boards for programming - then moved into punch cards.
Built my first computer in the 60s from a telephone dial and some flipflop circuits for a science fair project. Graduated to a Sinclair - then spent loads of money on Ataris and Commodores - still have the VIC that was used as the prototype test bench for Comm when they built the 64 from it. The Atari 800 (with the cassette drive for programs) was the downfall - got into running BBS's, then finally started adult BBS's in the 80s.
First encounter with the web was through Holonet running email addies for my subscribers at $50 a year for one address. Upgraded the BBS to a mess of mixed up web sites and dialup ansi/RIP graphics running Wildcat software- then dumped everything. Messed around with VMS(Digital's op. system) for a few years. Came back after the explosion of the adult side and been here ever since.
