My first computer was a c64, my mum actually offered to buy the then brand new amiga when we were in the shop, but I didn't want it 'cause my friends didn't have one (yet). After that I was gaming on friends amigas mostly, until my dad started bringing home pc's, first early laptops with 1200 bps modems (he works for the telecoms company), then an official work machine which of course went to my room. It was a 386sx/25mhz with a 2400bps modem, I racked up phone bills at the time by being a fidonet active and phoning bbs's in general. A bit later the first free internet service showed up, freenet on telesampo, and I started frequenting that to play muds. My dad with his work mates eventually installed a call back line with a modem on it so 'they' (ended up being me hogging the line all the time) could use the telesampo service without costs. Anyway, I even tested linux back then (94) because the mud was hosted in helsinki university. After that I moved away from home and was without my own computer until 2000, only console I ever had was a psx I bought for my sister during the years I didn't have a computer.
