Summary

[edit]
Description

I moved on from the Atari ST to a series of ‘beige box’ PCs. I cannot remember if Viglen was one of them but they all looked the same. My first (I think) was from Evesham Micros and the last I owned was a Dell Dimension XPS tower (I have used a ton of Laptops from Toshiba, Sony, Acer, Dell etc for work). I remember paying a ludicrous amount of money for RAM upgrades for these machines on Tottenham Court Road. I ran Windows 95 though Windows XP on these machines as well as an early copy of Slackware Linux and of course Solaris. (I also ran earlier versions of Windows 3 / WFWG on laptops at work)

I actually happened to be in Sunnyvale in the US when Windows 95 was launched so I got my copy from Fry’s at midnight. Still have it as software came in boxes then :-) ).
