I use slrn/vim ;)
zx spectrum 48k, later Amstrad CPC 6128 with green monitor.
Wanted Amiga badly but here in Yugoslavia they were not available and
cost of importing them (if you are lucky) was prohibitive....
So when I started to work at 1992 I could afford my first PC.
Hardware, I like, yeah, but since now computers are powerfull there is
no much nostalgia, or except that I am still freak when comming to new
CPU's and bigger RAM ;)
Oh when I remember days with casette tape, like 5 mins to load 40kb and
then read error, so tweak casette player head and try again ;p
