Don't forget me! I'm from 1982, so does that make me IBM compatible?
32-bit isn't all that great, especially considering Win'95... ;-)
You're all making me feel old... I date from the time of the HP9100 (1967),
so I guess I should be stack-based... Hang on... I am :-)
A silly suggestion. Computer-astrology. Your way of thinking is
determined by the computers that were in production at the time of your
birth. No, I don't believe it either :-)
Especially as the few computers in production at the time I was born
were mostly Univac I units, there were others gearing up for production
but in mid '55, calling any other computer "in production" can be
argued. (Of course, from a modern _mass_-production point of view, it
could be argued that no computer _requiring_ individual expert
installation is a "production" computer -- in which case the TRS-80, the
Apple II and the original Pet are the first "production" computers,
although the Apple II only makes it by a nose). I am not a member of
this latter school, BTW.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

punk.
And Tim Hotze, Max Eskin.... anybody else?
