I'm thinking back to how many computers I've had over the years. My first computer was the Atari 130Xe in November of 1987. Monitor sold separately. I came across this image of a 1959 computer from Cory Doctorow Tweet earlier. Wow, that's some computer:

Not quite as noteworthy as the image above, my 2nd computer was a Atari 130ST computer 1988. Still no Monitor. Then I graduated to a Pentium in 1990 and I had a monochrome monitor. My first real computer was a Pentium and I had Windows 95. My 5th computer was a white tower running Windows me and that would have been about 2001 running Windows me. Then in 2005 I got the Compaq Presario running Windows Xp. That's what I'm using now. My last computer is a Acer laptop. That's 7 computers, plus a iPad and 2 iPod Touch devices. That's 7 computers in almost 30 years. My media centre Compaq is working with a CRT monitor. It was given to me for $50! I had a heck of a time trying to carry it from the Edmonton motors area onto the lrt and out to Clareview. Next computer I'm going to get will be a iMac. Oh and in case you think I'm not a Cory Doctorow and just a troll, here's another image I captured of some of his books in my library:

If indeed I have work over the next 3 days then great and if that big project begins there could be a Sunday in there. That means I'll be busy for awhile. I'll still be blogging just as much as ever. Anyway, that's all for now.
