Popeye - I bought the TRS-80 in 1978 - at a local Radio Shack. Took it back after a month, as the screen was too small for me - for constant usage. Then, went and bought a Commodore 64, to which I could add any size screen I wanted. Never looked back. Added the Vic-20 (all of 4K, before I upgraded it to 20K) and then, the C-128. When Commodore abandoned those designs, and went with, first - their XT Clone, and then - their AT Clone - so did I. But, after awhile, I decided I might be able to build a faster machine, myself. So, I did - bought the cases, the motherboards, the CPUs, the RAM, the Video Card, the HD, and the CD/DVD burners, and I was away. Eventually, I'd built ten of them, before I decided to return to pre-built PCs, in the wake of the message handed down the pike - MS would no longer support home-brew machines. So, now - I have four Lenovos - all picked up for a song, at Staples. And now, my screens are mammoth!!!!

My first computer was a Commodore 64 then went to a 128. The first PC I bought was a (I think) a Gateway that came with the first version of Elements. Then came a Sony Viao with a 19" monitor. That came with version 3 of PSE. Since then I've bought laptops, currently with a Samsung I7 with 17" monitor and PSE 15.
