Cows ate it.
Imma old fart too…my computers:
PMC-80 (TRS-80 clone)
Apple ][+ (later fully tricked out w/z80 card and lots of extras)
Epson QX-10 (CP/M machine)
IBM PS/2 Model 50
Zeos PC clone
Gateway PC clone
From there I started building my own systems. 1st one was a very generic mobo, next one I can’t remember, then a Gigabyte mobo, which lasted 10+ years and still runs in my workshop.
Current one is a MSI X99 mobo, all SSD setup with twin GPUs running in SLI.
Prebuilt PCs these days are utter & complete garbage. Very high mortality rate and chock full of bloat ware. I refuse to either build one for people or to recommend a brand. No good can come from it because you’ll either be on the hook for 24/7 support or get blamed when the POS store bought inevitably dies.
I use Macs for laptops because the last thing I want to do is futz with one on the road. They won’t seem to die….I’ve have 4, a G4 PowerBook, a 2009 Intel Powerbook, a 2013 Air, and the very last intel PowerBook that Apple made last year. They all still work.
