I started with an IBM PC in 1984. No green screen for me, I spent the big bucks for CGA card and monitor. 4 of the ugliest colors ever. After a few months with that PC, I built myself a clone of an IBM XT. My clone ran at 8Mhz and had a 20MB hdd. The IBM XT ran at 4.77Mhz and had a 10MB hdd.
Started out with DOS 2.1 then 3.0, 3.1, 4.0 then on to Win 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, Win 95, 98, 98se, xp, (skipped Vista & ME), w7, w8, w8.1, w 10. Along the way I also had an Amiga HD 2000 and also ran all versions of IBM's OS/2.
I've tried quite a few Linux distros overe the years too (none I particularly like).
