OE> zxspectrum my first, whats yours?

My first was an IBM Aptiva - forget the model number, but it came out in 1996. 
It had a black chassis and the CD/Floppy/Power button were on an external unit 
that connected via a SCSI card to the PC. Made getting the floppy and CD to 
work a bit challenging sometimes (some older versions of MSCDEX didn't work 
with this configuration). Windows 95 wouldn't recognize the CD drive without 
the appropriate SCSI driver. 

I later ventured off into DOS machines and then went older. I have a breadbin 
64 and a breadboard cartridge. I also have an Amiga 4000, IBM PS/2 56SLC (which 
I am typing this message on), PowerMac G5 dual, and a dell optiplex GX1. I have 
a Toshiba Tecra 530CDT laptop from 1996 in the mail. 

I don't really use many computers newer than 2004. I don't like the modern 
computers nor the modern operating systems. The newest computer I have is a 
Raspberry Pi 4 - which I will use with my C64 soon (I plan on making a 
cartridge port to GPIO port adapter first, then we will see what I come up with 
next). 

How ya gonna do it? PS/2 it!
