I never had an Amstrad of my own. I had a PC1512 I borrowed off my parents, but before that I had a Commodore 64.
After the '64, I had an Amiga 500 (with 1 Meg ram - wow) and then an Amiga 1200, with 120 meg hdd.

Yep.. Had one of those too.. With OS/2 Warp (which, once I got it working, walked all over Windows 3.1)
Then I upgraded to a self built Cyrix 166 (in the same case
) with a dodgy copy of Windows 95. It had 8 (then 16) meg of Ram and a 2Meg Matrox Mystique (remember those?) GFX card.
Then I got a PIII450 (the 166 was a couple of years old and showing it's age), with 64 Meg Ram and a 32 Meg GeForce 1..
Then I got an AthlonXP 1.8 with 128 Meg ram. This died, so was replaced with a Duron 800, which was replaced with an AthlonXP 1.8 again (when I could afford it). All had 128 Meg ram. The second Athlon was upgraded first to 512Meg and then to 768Meg.
This lasted until nearly a year ago, when the Athlon died, and I needed a computer (I was in the middle of creating a manual for the students when the motherboard died, taking out the CPU as well), so I rushed up to Tottenham Court Road and bought my current motherboard and CPU, Which is an Asus Socket 754 board (A8N deluxe I think) and an Athlon 64 3000 (which was all they had in stock at the time, and I couldn't wait as I needed the document finished by Monday). This now has a GeForce 6600GT, 1 Gig of Corsair Ram and around a third of a terrabyte of storage on various disk drives (1 x 120 Gig IDE Drive, 1 x 160 Gig USB drive and 1 x 200 Gig SATA drive), as well as a DVD writer and region-free DVD Rom.
And I also have a Sony Vaio and have been promised a Mac Mini from work...
