-Earliest is probably sitting in my aunt/uncles apartment smacking their laptop keys(what I figured fast typers in movies did.)

 

-Sneaking onto our horrible compaq presario(which was in my parents room) at like midnight to play games. Sure was an intense moment signing onto aol via dialup.

 

-Losing connection midgame every 20 minutes while trying to play games with my best friend.

 

-Signing up for a BUNCH of 'free' things. Boy did I get  dozens of free playstations and xboxs by giving them my email and whatnot :lol:

From what I remember, it was the first PC I brought built during one of my IT class and it was a quad-core phenom with 4GB of RAM, ATI 5670, 2TB Seagate HDD, and a MSI Motherboard...

My very first computer I bought on my own was from a second hand shop. It was rocking an i386 and I bought it from a place across town. So there I was young and careless I carried the tower all the way across the bridge to the other side of town to get it home. From that point on the addiction began.

My earliest tech memory is: in an archive box behind me, in the DOS rig behind me and in my ULR next to me. It was my old 1992 386 DX-40 rig which has everything but the motherboard working. So I scattered the remaining useable parts between rigs. (*sigh* my right arm for a 5.25" drive, then I could bring back all of my early PC memories off my floppy disks).

Whats your earliest tech memory? Computers are a huge part of my life. I've grown closer to the people around me via sharing the gaming experience with them.

 

My earliest memory on a computer was when i was 7-ish, on the "captain underpants" website, playing online games with my 4 yo little sister.

 

So whats yours?

 

Going to a friends house to play Mortal Kombat on his pc. I do not remember it having Windows and him entering some code to get the game up.

Pretty sure I've got an old 5 1/4 stored out on the farm. I'll check next time I'm out there.

It was considered old when I first used a PC, which would have been around 2004.

The first time I can remember really well was going to my neighbours and watching someone play The Sims on a Pentium III PC, complete with Windows Me and dial-up.

 

And at elementary school where I worked with a Windows 98SE machine and Word 2000. I had one of these PCs, one of the last HP Vectras (HP Vectra XE310 Series2) with Intel Celeron 1GHz, until last year, and it still worked fine.

Laptop: Intel Core i5-4200H, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, GeForce 840M

Desktop: Intel Core i3-6100, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, GeForce GTX 750 Ti
