My Dad had an Adam computer.
-I remember playing games like LadyBug and Zaxxon on cartridge
-and others like Buck Rogers and "the line game" (kind of like the modern "Snake Game" but for 2-players, no dots, a fixed area... and you created a line wherever you went, it didn't get shorter.. point was to box the other in.); these were on cassette tapes.
Then he got a 386.
-DOS operating system
-I remember manually setting up a basic ascii-art menu for various things
Then he got a 486.
-We had Windows by this point
-I used 3.1 and 95
-played games like Police Quest and King's Quest
Then he got a Pentium
-got the internet in there somewhere and I remember thinking chat-rooms were pretty cool
-I remember wondering why they were called Pentiums and not "586's"
Going away to college I got "my first" computer
-I remember buying a motherboard-pack and doing my own upgrades
-I remember thinking something like $100 for 64MB of RAM was really expensive - but I wanted it anyway
-Got Windows 98 in here somewhere
Completed College and was buying my own computers from this point on
-Moved into Windows XP - I liked it
-Hesitant from all the other horrible Windows offers, but finally moved into Windows 7 - I liked it, but should have moved into it sooner
-Hesitant from all the other horrible Windows offers, but finally moved into Windows 10 - Again I liked it, but should have moved into it sooner
-Still not sure if I should jump on Windows 11 sooner or let it settle... Microsoft really needs to work on it's trustability
