Most powerful computer in the group?

My Amiga is early 1990s...

I never had the Amiga, only the Atari ST range.

about 5 seconds Pentium M730 1.6GHz 1 gig RAM integrated graphics (Toshiba Tecra A5)

Is it actually used though? Except for playing Amiga games?

Yes, and yes, heh. WordWorth is a great wordprocessor.

Same old 2.0GHz dual G5, 2.5Gb RAM, 256Mb X800 graphics and dual displays I've had since 2003 (bar the dual monitors, I only had one then).

To check the PDF would be a while since I read news on a laptop, but generally Apple's preview app is quick, Adobe's Acrobat is painfully slow.

The only software you need for an amiga is speedball 2.

Ohhh there are plenty of other great games too, though...

Stunt Car Racer. Although that was just as playable on the Commodore 64...

And Sensi-Soccer obviously :)

Ewww. Soccer. Haven't we had enough of this wretched "sport" for another four years. It's worse than the Oscars...

:p

Yep, and the first computer I used was a Triumph Adler Bitsy, which cost £14,000 in 1980/81 (not sure on the exact date), and the first 'real' computer I owned was an Apple Lisa. Which was... expensive.

First computer I bought myself was in 1989, an Apple Mac IIx with 13" display, grey imported so it only cost £2,500 or so instead of £4,000.

And now I baulk at spending £1000 or so on an a new iMac!

(But, my studio Mac system is getting madder, with dual 20" Apple LCDs on a Korg Trinity Pro X - all aluminium. Looks stunning. And I think I'm finally going to record something - I did a multitrack so got some understanding of Logic - which always throws me - and an Antares AVP, so my confidence in my vocals is better (I found if I sing in the same range as Nick Cave, I'm fine, but my pop-range is a semitone out)).
