"BBC B" About 1985 |

My parents won a ZX81 in 1981 when I was 3. Started programming when I was 4, so computers have never really been a novelty to me, just some shit like a TV, which is why I hate them. |

amstrad cpc 464 (built in tape deck and green screen) was my first own computer brand new which i got for xmas (86/87 probably or the year after) i still have it plugged in in my studio next to me in full working order even if it does take 10 mins to load a game) but i had a big up apple b4 that from my dads architecture firm from the early eighties which i now don't have which i was given when they upgraded in the early eighties with that tennis game with the blocks on ... that's all i did with it, i was very small ... i was lucky my parents were into the fact computers were useful and got me one early ... i've had loads in between esp consoles but there are some i jus gotta keep cos they have such sentimental value tho like the amstrad my first performa my first powerbook ... what i'm waiting for is my first quantum ... that will be the most insane day of my life : ) fingers crossed ... |

1987 - Atari 65XE , tapes with games, but fuckin "NOBODY MOVES" or the game will not run - you wish to see me with my mates sitting like stones without breathing for 30 minutes to upload some shit called "Ninja Commando" or "River Raid" |

do you know how cheap you can buy old games at charity/antique/car boot sales etc these days for old machines ... insane like 5 for a £ !! they used to sell cheap games in my newsagents bak in the day for my amstrad ... a little rack by the till ... that was heaven, sweets and games ... what i'd do to have it all again ; ) i'm pretty sure knowing me i'd make all the same choices and get back to here but it's the rest of the world i'm worried about, it would depend on so many choices being made again that were blatantly wrong the first time and only just happened ... damn the whole chaos / cause an effect theory ... let's hope there's a big crunch and we go in reverse ... all get resurrected and live back our lives and get to recherish those moments again without having to lose who we are / become eh ... it's gotta be our only shot ... maybe whilst we are in reverse we can find a way of ensuring we end up bak again somehow and create a giant loop all so we can all live for a few million years out of the billions it takes to loop again ... unless some other intelligent race comes into existence before the loop is finished but after us and fuck with our plans but then again if they didn't they too would get trapped in the loop i guess ... guess we'll just have to wait and see ... ; ) |

ZX Spectrum, I won an award wiv prgam I built for it back when I was 11. Made it make sounds even though it had no sound capabilities. Fucking loads better than any current software, I reckon. |
