commodore vic-20. also had at various times a trs-80 color computer, a trs-80 model 4 and an atari 520 st. the atari was the best one i guess.

same.

i also used a playstation 2 as a computer for a short time. iirc ps2 linux was made for it to be classified as a ~computer~ to avoid european import taxes . later got it running netbsd. really pointless projects.

e. i'm wrong, that was Yabasic for ps2

i had a pentium that dual booted windows 3.1 and os/2 warp. os/2 warp probably sucked for doing actual work, but for a little kid it owned

when we installed windows 95 on it, it claimed that os/2 was incompatible with windows and refused to install until we deleted os/2
