DEC PDP/8. First computer that I made music with was a Texas
Instrument model, much like the Vic-20. I supposed I also
programmed assembly code into an Intel 8085 development station
to play the theme from "Close Encounters...". The first computer
I did any serious music with was a Pentium I running Redhat 4.0.

SoX was the first music program that got me really excited. That
was very long ago, sometime in the mid to late 1980s. SoX was also
the back-end part of my first serious music adventure, which used
SoundStudio as its front-end. I mastered an entire CD using that
combination back in 1999.

It was soooo much easier to work with Ardour last night on my
dual-core Athlon. :-)
