I have been working in the computer business since 1988, first as a programmer, lately as a technician and educator I am a MCSE and MCT, i.e. I am supposed to know a lot about Microsoft's operating systems and can teach you about them. That doesn't mean that I only know Microsoft products. I actually have more experience of Novell Netware, unfortunately for Novell most people seem to prefer NT based servers.

As in the case of cameras I have collected computers through the years, even if it harder to keep computers than cameras (they are bigger) I own the following systems in chronological order:

• Apple II+
• Commodore Amiga 1000 (bought I the US in 1986)
• Bondwell-8 (portable)
• AST Bravo 4-66
• HP Vectra 5-100
• IBM PC330
• Home built PII 400 MHz

Three of these computers are still in use. The HP Vectra acts as a firewall between my home network and the Internet. The IBM acts as a Linux experiment machine and the PII as a entertainment system. (I actually work with a Laptop computer owned by my employer).
