System List

This is a list of notable computers I’ve used over the years and includes the date I had access to or acquired the machine, what it was and what CPU it used, and the current status in my collection.

This is not an exhaustive list as I’ve probably had twenty different PCs since 2004; it’s just the memorable or neat stuff.
