Commodore PET 4. Then a ZX80 and ZX81 followed by an Atari 800XL. Commodore Vic 20 and then a C-64. Got my forst Spectrum around than and had a few more, 48-128k.
Then I started getting serious, got an Amiga A2000 then an A500, A3000 A1200T A4000T /060. Built my first PC in 97, was a pentium II 350. All my PC's since ten have been self build. AMD 1000, AMD 1700, Athlon 2000+ Xp 2200+ Xp 2600+ then the most recent a dual core 3800+ and a quad core 9600 Phenom plus my day to day model that I am on now which is a Dual core low power 5200+ Black Edition AMD with dual HD2900XT ati cards in crossfire ( SLI ) and 8GB of corsair Ram.
Well you did ask, and I'm a bit of a geek.
I still have most of that stuff.

The sad thing about this Allen Carr is, he quit smoking, after 100 a day, at the age of 45 or somehting, then died in 2006 after 20 years of none smoking of lung cancer, because of second hand smoke, from his clients who allowed to smoke during his counceling...

if i can't smoke, nor can they! if i'm getting rid of the fags, i don't want their smoke! plus, it's really tempting.

Montecristo cigars on my desk in front of me. I've not decided to give up smoking yet, but if I do I'll be pissed off if I don't smoke them first.

But i dont mind the smell of smoke.. doesnt bother me.. I dont feel like im missing out on anything.. because i know actualy smoking a cig tastes like shit, and i spent most of my youth forcing my self to smoke in spite of the shite taste.. The smell of smoke to me, smells a bit nostalgic.. but I couldnt smell it while i was smoking, because im a smoke.. to the fact i can actualy smell what smoke really smells like is a victory to me.
I have nightmares that ive given in and smoked.. but its only been a couple of weeks.. I just feel so possitive about the whole thing i dont think im going to give in and smoke..

that tends to be when i weaken. also, if you do give in and have a smoke, it's not the end of the world. it doesn't mean you have to start smoking again, it just means you're human. i quit at the end of january and i've had 2 lapses, both when i was drinking. i'm still not smoking though.
g'night!
