My least favorite thing about computers is setting them up: installing hardware and operating systems. NeXT’s NeXTSTEP was probably my favorite operating system to work on. I’ve been running Linux since 1996. Linux has been a mixed blessing for me due to how quickly the environment and compatibilities change.

My first computer was a second-hand Apple ][ revision 1 motherboard w/ 16kb of ram (later expanded to 48kb with a 16kb language card). I learned 6502 assembler and had a lot of fun writing graphics and sound routines for silly demos and video games.

I currently have a Toshiba Libretto U105. It is the coolest!
