I personally "grew up" with Motorola 6502 and 68000 processors. Intel was always sort of the "evil empire". I did some assembler programming on Commodore computers and on the Amiga, but never on PCs.

Later at university we had a whole lecture based on the book by Patterson and Hennesey which was also around RISC architecture, so that's definitely closer to me than x86... Nice to see it is making comeback ;)

I also really like how they did low level hack to make things work. IIRC the Amiga also had the video modes and the processor clock tightly interlocked.
