Blimey. Well, I started in the early '80s too, but I never got as far
as assembly. I just bought an Archimedes so I could run BASIC at the
speed of assembly code on an 8-bit. ;-)

Recently trying to resurrect my ancient Pascal knowledge...

Fair. My home desktop is an iMac, partly because I like macOS, and
partly because I can use my own choice of keyboard and mouse on a
desktop. I dislike modern Apple ones. So my laptops are pre-chiclet
Thinkpads, with Ubuntu, and my work machines are Dells. Windows is for
reflashing firmware, mostly.
