Greetings,
For no reason beyond boredom I decided to pester this list with an OT
topic or two. So, without further delay:
What was your first computer ?
And for extra points:
What was the first music/sound software you used that really hooked you
into this making-music-with-computers fad ?
You may fire when ready.
1st
Atari when I was 8.
We had no spare floppies so we had to leave it on for three days while
we typed in the code for the game we wanted to play. Of course it didn't
work when we finished so we gleefully pulled the plug and went out side
to play instead.
Musically was an apple se40 where I got hooked on the synthetic noises
for DnD and shufflepuck.
Now I don't play games ever. Trying to figure out how to stop my son
from becoming an addict too. Maybe get him one of the olpc's.
It's amazing that for him video phones and HD monitors are just a normal
part of everyday life.
