About me I've been a computer programmer since I first started typing in program listings on a Commodore Vic 20 when I was about 8. My hobbies include electronics, CNC manufacturing, photography, beer and winemaking.
I live with my wife and lots of left-over parts from unfinished projects in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.]

Having recently made a list of computers I've owned over the last 20
years, I decided to make a list of photography equipment I've owned. This list
goes back to the first film camera I can recall buying for myself, around 1997.
In that time, I've bought 7 cameras and 11 major accessories. Of those, I
still own and use one of those cameras and six of those accessories.20 January 2012, 13:51 UTC30+ years of computers
During some downtime, I made a list of all the computers I could
remember owning. The list is surprisingly long, and goes back to 1992
(before which I had a Commodore 64 but that barely counts, does it?) When I
originally wrote this article in 2012 I came up with 10 desktops and 7 laptops,
or a new machine nearly every year. By contrast, in 2020 I'm using a 7 year
old laptop and it's fine. On the other hand, the 3 Chromebooks I bought in the
last 6 years just didn't last.
Still in use as of June 2021: Dell 5155, Dell 3190, Ryzen 3700X, i7-4790k
