Back then, I was more active in the FOSS community ("made the time" to

Years ago all I did was fool with computers but I did little actual work
but now I'm actually doing useful things.

Given that my job is designing them, I tend to want to have very little to
do with them in my "off time" :



Understood.

I was not terribly interested in computers at all until I got into
digital photography. Though I am not usually an early adapter, I started
in the year 2000 when it became affordable.

I had a "first day ship" 5150 PC1" but I bought it used in 84 from the
guy at work who bought it originally. That had two 128 m floppies, 16k
and an 8088.
It kept getting upgrades as I accumulated parts and ended up being
640k with a 30m Seagate.
My next machine was an AT in a wooden box. ;-)
