Neither - I was programming professionally at this stage, so could afford a PC.

Ditto, except the 1024. So not really ditto. Well, except for the Atari bit. So Dit. I had saved up for ages to afford it, only to find that the delivery costs would mean waiting longer. So I drove round the M25 to Watford Electronics to pick it up on my motorcycle. Coming home with it and the monitor bungeed to the pillion was some adventure, I can tell you.

I upgraded mine so I could play The Secret of Monkey Island. The only problem was that the upgrade kit was a bit crap and ended up being slightly too tall for the case (as I remember it, it was a board that sat on top of the processor). So for the rest of my Atari ST days the case was slightly bowed and would rock back and forth on a flat surface.

Never had an Amiga... Atari 800XL... From there, I moved to an IBM PS/2-25. Still have my old copy of the IBM Basic Handbook... The little book that started it all.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Developer, Author (Guardians of Xen)

Amiga - ace machine :) Started with an A500+ and then later an A1200. Wasn't that keen on the first PC I had (well actually it was my dad's). The OLE integration between different apps was nice (then again it had 4MB of RAM compared to the 2MB in my Amiga) but I preferred Digita Wordworth to MS Word and there were loads of things I prefered in the Amiga OS (support for long filenames from the beginning, more sensible drive names as opposed to letters, etc). And of course the Amiga had fantastic graphics and games - 4096 colors on screen at the same time in the mid 80s and around 262,000 on screen at the same time with the later models in the early 90s. I never had an Atari but heard they had good audio hardware, maybe something to do with MIDI support?
