History

In the 1995 i bought my first computer: the great ATARI STe.
Maybe today this sounds funny but is a fact that was (is) the best
computer ever made (if you compare setup-performing).
Atari died but my STe is still alive.
I here learned the basics of how a computer works (and how it
SHOULD work). with the integrated midi card of the STe handled by Cubase 2, my cassicals easly slipped from my head to the Roland D10. And what to say about the hours and hours of fun playing with DungeonMaster, Ishar, Obsession, Captive, Lotus challenge and hundreds more.... there is no Doom or Quake that can involve your mind into an adventure like Knightmare, a game that can really sort geniouses from stupids (i finished it - hehe...).
And all on a 8MHz/4Mb-ram/720-Floppy.

In the 1999 my system is upgraded to a 2nd hand Atari FALCON 030, a custom tower-cabinet with 14Mb of memory, 2Gb Fujitzu hard disk,1Gb IBM hard disk, Ricoh 2x CDrecorder, DSP Card, FX accelerator/ video card 40+40, VISA 15" SVGA monitor.
I did everything with it: music, internet, database, graphics, phototouch, 3D...
Now i use my FALCON for Hard disk recording (still nothing better
than Atari for direct-recording my Heavy Metal tracks)

When my 3D graphics asked me more power and speed it was a natural step from Atari to Macintosh. Why not a PC? be cause i need a WORKING computer, not a stupid assembled pack of crap.

And so i bought an Apple iMac with OS-X, and comparing to a PC (i use some in my job-place) is like being on another planet!
