This is my third.

First was a Packard bell with a 586-50 Mhz processor.

2Nd was a HP with a pentium A 266 Mhz.

Everything but the last one and the first three are still in use.

I'm sure there's something I forgot...

 

[rkressg]

That is a good question. Atleast a dozen in my house, but they are all homebuilt, with the exception of one HP/Compaq 2. 0 GHz AMD Laptop. The PC's range from 900 MHz AMDs to 2. 4 GHz AMDs. At home, I will not run an overpriced and inefficent P4 processor.



If I can count the computers I build for work, it would be around 400 desktops and 20 servers over the last 5 years.

 

[nickleinonen]

2 total...



compaq 486-66mhz running win 3. 1 and later, win 95 [purchased in early 90's, on internet since 93 on compuserve, on cable internet since 95-96 - died mid january 2004 ]

custom P4-500mhz on win 98... [purchased june 2000]

 

[icarus33]

My portfolio doesn't go back as far as some of you older timers, but I did not see anyone with one of the far leading edge computers of its time. The one that REALLY brought the GUI online, AMIGA.



I had an Amiga 2000 for a few years for doing digital video effects and titling.
