[Maxim]

the 1st time i didnt something on a PC was play doom .... lol at an
exposition I cant remember when or were that was but i do remember the 1st
level of doom :D then i played prince of persia .... after that dad got me a
pc  :) after some time i kinda got tired of playing games so i started
playing with Qbasic ....

the 1st pc at home a something like a 386 but i guess i wasn't allowed to
play with it (dads workstation)... then later on we had another one for the
family ....
