OE> zxspectrum my first, whats yours?

My first was an IBM Aptiva - forget the model number, but it came out in 1996.
It had a black chassis and the CD/Floppy/Power button were on an external unit
that connected via a SCSI card to the PC. Made getting the floppy and CD to
work a bit challenging sometimes (some older versions of MSCDEX didn't work
with this configuration). Windows 95 wouldn't recognize the CD drive without
the appropriate SCSI driver. 

I later ventured off into DOS machines and then went older. I have a breadbin
64 and a breadboard cartridge. I also have an Amiga 4000, IBM PS/2 56SLC
(which I am typing this message on), PowerMac G5 dual, and a dell optiplex
GX1. I have a Toshiba Tecra 530CDT laptop from 1996 in the mail. 

I don't really use many computers newer than 2004. I don't like the modern
computers nor the modern operating systems. The newest computer I have is a
Raspberry Pi 4 - which I will use with my C64 soon (I plan on making a
cartridge port to GPIO port adapter first, then we will see what I come up
with next). 

How ya gonna do it? PS/2 it!
