Off-Topic • [Discussion] What was your hardware progression?

Inspired by a chat I had with another Developer and most recently Trihexagonal's post:
What I could do with a Tandy TRS-80 I saw for sale at RadioShack in 1977.
What specific hardware/manufacturer did you start computing on and what path did you take to get where you are on now?

I started on a Vic 20 -> C64 ->C128 -> Amiga 500 -> Amiga 1200 -> Amiga 1200+ -> Amiga 4000 -> IBM/PC -> Compaq -> HP -> Dell -> HP -> {{Here now}} All HP.

Friend of mine also started on a Tandy TRS-80 with a path similar to Trihexagonal's path and my path but instead moved to Pentium chips under PC at the time, building and soldering to his hearts and swap meets content. Guy has a personal Super Computer today with crazy unpublished numbers, a bit of wealth, and is still a super nerd and still just as awesome. Still would never hand him my cellphone :lol:.

Work was different. I may have my order wrong here: -> VAX, Sparc, -> Some IBM monolith -> IBM -> Sun -> Cray -> DEC? Comeback -> Sun-> Networking Fog -> Intel -> Manufacturer ( Dell -> HP ) -> Build our own.
