My first CPU was an Intel, an 8080 in my IMSAI 8080. My 2nd was an
8088, in an XT clone, which I replaced with a NEC V20. Currently, my
main system is an AMD64 4000+.
From when I first started programming, I always had
access to quite powerful machines, and it wasn't until
the mid-1990's that PC's came within an order of magnitude
of what I was using outside the home.
Before that, I had no interest in actually owning
my own computer.
