History:
First game console I played was Atari VCS
First game console I programmed on was Magnavox Odyssey2 (Computer Programmer, sort of 'visual assembly').
I had access at home to an Atari VCS until 7th grade. 2nd console I programmed on (BASIC Programming)
First computer I used was an Epson IBM-PC compatible. It was also the first computer I programmed on.
I used Apple ][e computers a lot at school from 5th grade to 10th grade. Mostly when not in a class(Before, after, lunch time). Mostly programming, but I did enjoy some games. If there weren't computers at school I might not have gone to highschool at all.
First computer I owned was an Apple //c
I had access at home to an IBM-PC jr for a while
Got an NES in 10th grade and finally became a gamer.
I purchased an IBM compatible in 10th grade and used DOS, 16-bit Windows, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, until 2001 when I switched to Ubuntu and never used Windows on my own computers again.
Bought an SNES in 11th grade.
After high school, I rented a PlayStation and Ridge Racer. I was very disappointing and was hit with an overwhelming urge to play Indy 500 (which has 100% more players and 500% more tracks). I went to a thrift store where there was a VCS and INDY 500 and the racing controllers. From there things just sort of ballooned. I really only buy modern systems when it is a very good deal and when an exceptional game gets my attention.

GNU/Linux
Ubuntu is nice, its easy, everything-just-works(TM). Everything, that is, that's officially made for Ubuntu. Non-official stuff I've hacked in is bogging down my system and making it difficult to do even simple tasks. Especially considering I'm GNU/doing it all on a low-end netbook. And it just wasn't letting me install _every_ GNU/Linux game for information mining (and screenshots). So, I've gone and installed full Debian Squeeze in a mid range box. I have Ubuntu still. Now I also have Debian. UGH! its like, like USING GNU/LINUX again! Not 30 seconds after boot I'm all into command-line coding and source file editing just to get Moria installed. Its not all bad, somehow Gnome Desktop is easier on this box' resources than lubuntu is and the internet is faster even without an adblocker.
Anyway, to sum up. I have Ubuntu, Debian, and Haiku (x86) computers available to fulfill UVL tasks and I will consider all requests.
