I could never get anywhere with the wretched Blitz Basic - it was bugged to hell (I believe my review of it is still on the internet somewhere).
I used to have a C64, probably for a good 7/8 years, then an Amiga (until Commodore went bust - it was during my second year at University). This caused me to get an Acorn A3010, followed several years later by a RiscPC
Both the A3010 and RiscPC were a joy to use (and program) - I first started on the internet with the RiscPC too...
After Acorn stopped making computers, I quickly sold my RiscPC and brought a Gateway PC (closely followed by a Dell PC, at a very cheap price from a neighbour of a relative). After selling both of those, I brought Mesh Desktop Computers (very nice they are too).
After which I have brought approximately 10 Acer laptops (those too are very nice) - currently I use an Aspire 5024WLMI and Ferrari 4000 laptop - sometimes at the same time too!
If you were wondering what happened to the previous laptops, read my blog.
And that is my computing history...
It should be noted that 'Acorn' computers are still being made (and sold) - mainly by Castle Technologies. They are very expensive (and you dont get that much), however, like all previous Acorn computers, they are very powerful - if more games had been availiable, I probably would have brought some new ones (or kept the RiscPC).
