We had a Commodore PET in school, but our first home game system was the Coleco Telstar that my dad bought.

Then he bought a Coleco Telstar Arcade

Then he bought a Coleco Gemini

Then he bought an Atari 2600 before getting into computers such as the Commodore VIC=20, Commodore 64, Atati ST, before moving onto "PC Compatible" computers such as a Zenith, Vendex HeadStart (endorsed by WWF wrestler King Kong Bundy), then Tandy S/L or T/L and then we started building our own.

Stick a thumb in it!

Thank you for reminding me of AL Jarreau's music. I'm not a huge fan of his genre, but some of his music is really good.

VIC=20, Commodore 64, Vendex HeadStart, Zenith (forget the model), Tandy TL/2, then I had a 386SX/20 built, then I started building my own starting with a 486-DX4/100.

First dabbled with Linux when I bought a CD from Staples with "Linux95" on it. It was just Slackware. Then Red Hat 4.0 and Corel Linux.

It was good. This is the first time I've seen it mentioned since my buddy and I saw it on MuchMusic back in the late '80s or early '90s.

I nuked my Windows 11 and went with Fedora KDE, too.
