No one forgets their teenage copies of Amateur Pornographer. They were easier to reach in the newsagents as well.

I've always loved taking pictures, and I've taken great pictures with rubbish cameras and rubbish pictures with great cameras. I'd certainly count photography as one of my enduring hobbies, but a camera has never changed my life, otherwise I'd be a photojournalist or something like that.

Having access to computers at school at the tender age of 7, and playing with my brother's various hardware items until the point where he flipped and demanded that I got my own, gave me a fantastic entry to the world of technology. Our paths may have diverged around the Amiga, but if it hadn't been for some of the items of technology that we "shared" I very much doubt we'd be the people we are today. Thanks for the MIDI interface ;) I am suprised at the absence of cameras in your list, Chris - were all those AP mags forgotten so easily? A little brother’s perspective:
