     At the risk of re-opening the "my first HW" thread, I'll say that the
first HW I got was _ISOS_ and _Palace Springs_ both as used CDs in spring
1992.  These were rapidly followed by a used CD of _HotMG_.
     Luckily I was in Boston, apparently a real center for US Hawkfandom,
judging my the number of CDs available in the shops.  And luckily I already
had a CD player.

     Well, luckily except for the effect on my bank account ;)

     I still have that _Palace Springs_ CD comfortably within arms reach,
though the original _ISOS_ and _HotMG_ CDs were updated last year.

Cheers,
Carl
