85367 2002-10-02 14:59:00 did nobody use a C64 or an Amiga?? :)

My favourite was the Sega SC3000H. I still have the Sega Basic manual floating around somewhere...

85368 2002-10-02 15:08:00 My own list would be something along the lines of

Sega SC3000H OS (if it had one?!?!)
C64 OS (whatever that might be)
Amiga Workbench (I remember someone in a 'puter shop asking if the "Workbench" listed in the specs meant the desk was included hehe)
Mac OS Something (back in the late 80's)
A little DOS here and there
Windows 3.11
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows ME (didn't last long)
Windows 2000 Pro
BeOS (Pretty)
Knoppix :)

I'm currently running RedHat Linux 7.3 and Win 98SE on this machine.

My favourite? In some ways I have a soft spot for Win 98SE. It's my old faithful that I keep returning to, having had forays into Win2K and WinME. 98SE does the job for me.

16k of RAM but was later upgraded to 48k!!!
You could have dinner while waiting for a game to load from tapes!

Still got a couple of them somewhere, should really fire one up and see if it still goes.
