I am an avid gamer. My first game machine was an Atari 2600, which I received around 1980. During the mid-eighties and early nineties I owned a number of Commodore computers, including the C-64 and Amiga. I have been a PC user since the early 1990's, and in the last ten years have owned the original Xbox, Gamecube, GBA, DS Lite, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, and the Xbox 360.
I currently own only an Xbox 360, an iPod Touch, and an iPad, as well as a PC. I run Windows 7 on my PCs and love it. I mostly use my iPod Touch for music, podcasts, and to play casual games, while the iPad is used for all sorts of things, from e-mail and web surfing to music creation, games, and whatever else some crazy developer comes up with for the platform.
