This was my intro to computers. In 1972 I got to play Star Trek on a DEC PDP-10



The picture center right actually shows the computer in the background. It filled a good sized room.

Commodore had introduced their Amiga 3000 back in 1990, I know It's not the same, But that's life.

This one hits a little too close to home.

I was on the design team for the B6800, B6900, B5900 and the A3/A9.

I still have a copy of "Computer System Organization", by Elliot I.Organick, describing the B5700/B6700 series. Although having a degree in theoretical physics, my first introduction on computers was a course on PL/I, of which I understood nothing, taken while working at Elsag in Genoa in 1979/1980. Then I was hired by SGS in Agrate (now STMicroelectronics) an I was given a copy of the "white book" by Kernighan and Ritchie on the C language. I worked on the Onyx computers, designed by Scott McNealy, and learned UNIX. Now I am playing with Linux. Cheers.
