If you check the page history, as I just did, I have not updated this in a year. So what the hell, I have time.
I started in 1985 on a used Commodore 64 which I bought from a friend. I was in complete awe of the game Flight Simulator. Next I upgraded to a Commodore 128 with all the extras.
My wife felt that I spent too much time on the computer and not with her. So, in 1991 I upgraded from the C128 to an Amiga 500, I also upgraded to a new wife who is much more understanding. After a lighting storm fried the Ami 500, I purchased an Amiga 2000 in 1993. I soon installed a Bridgeboard running Dos and Win 3.1.
The Amiga was basically dead in 1996 and I was not happy with MS Windows, so I gave Warp 3.0 Red Spine a try. This was a failure due to driver problems, well not really a problem. I was using a whacked out sound card with CD drive. I did finally get Warp running and never looked back. I have worked though the typical OS/2 path: Warp 4, MCP1, and MCP2. I switched to eComstation when version 1.2 was released and have used 1.2MR through 2.0 RC4.
I do use Window XP, I have seen but never used Vista. My Linux distro of choice is Gentoo.
1) IBM ZPro 6221 Dual 2.8 PIV Xeon CPUs - eCS 2.0 RC4, Gentoo Linux, WinXP
2) IBM MPro 6868 Dual 1 gHz PIII - eCS 2.0 RC4, Gentoo Linux - this is my sandbox system
3) Thinkpad R51e - WinXP, eCS 1.2R
4) Thinkpad R50e WinXP (wife)
5) AMD ASRock Motherboard (daughter) WinXP
6) Thinkpad T23 - eCS 2.0 (Rev ??) - can't really remember what is on this one, used as a debug term
IBM ZPro 6866 Dual 866 mHz PIII - Soon to be gone.
