What was your first computer?

[crzyces]

I still have my C64 (now a 128 as I upgraded the memory to 128 kilobits (not bytes, bits) , the 9lbs external floppy drive, and a baud modem that charged insane amounts (like a 1mb transfer would be about $75usd) and typing "Hey, how are you" would take 5 minutes to go 15 miles up the road.

[crzyces]

This was before web shells like Windows 3.1. Early 80's I guess. Wow I look good for an old guy ;^) .

My first laptop

 

[PineyCreek]

First 'PC' was a TI994/A with the full disk expansion system.  Then Apple II's and IBM 8086's at school.

 

First personal system was a 286 12MHz hand-me-down.  Played carmen sandiego and scorched earth on it.

[crzyces]

I can still hear that song "Where on Earth is...Carmen Sandiego".

The first PC i ever bought was  a Commodore 64. Basically dumber than a calculator but cost a fortune.It had a whopping 64 Kb of ram lmao, I used to love to play strategy games on floppy disk though.

[Marine_Boy]

It was a Pentium II 233MHz powered PC with 64MB graphics card and 256MB of RAM. Ahh... Damn it was slow  Before that there were all kind of Pegasus like consoles. Few examples:

Pegasus played Atari and Nintendo games right? Or was it Atari and Colecovision? I forget. My dad had one. He wouldn't let me play it much though. Maybe twice.

My first PC I've ever used was a slime HP Compaq with Windows XP on it with a VGA Monitor and Standard HP Mouse and Kedboard. I was about 5-6 years old.

[Automobili3XF]

It was a "white" Windows XP computer from my webdesigner (now bitcoin miner) cousin, circa 2004. He was still running a CRT monitor.

By the time i only had a PS1 and he had this computer that could play NFS Underground and GTA Vice City, i was blown away!

I was going to get my first computer only in 2008, a Vista laptop, it sucked hard.

My interest with computer hardware would only surface after i built my socket 775 system.

My first PC that I had in my room was when I was in elementary school in the early 90s, it ran Windows 3.1 (with Workgroups! ) and I had it for a few years before I upgraded to a Windows 95 PC with a 333MHz Intel Celeron with 128MB of RAM, I remember all of the computers in the house were on a bus network and we had to terminate the cables with these guys but playing multiplayer Doom was one of my most vivid childhood memories. The first computer I purchased myself wasn't until the early 2000s when I built my first PC with an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton that I overclocked with a pencil.

[Misanthrope]

In elementary plus a few relatives had 286 rigs. I remember I used to play this on them:

 

 

Compared to most atari games of the time it seemed far more advanced and fun.

So, what was the first ever PC you used?

Mine was..its a story

One day my dad brought home a old Windows ME gateway when i was only like 4 or so and i would do stuff on it...then we got rid of it

ahhhhhhhhhhhh vivid memories

A Windows XP PC with a 1680X1050 LCD monitor (I am actually using that monitor at this very moment)...

I just got Worms : Ultimate Mayhem, the game I always use to play (well the demo)

Now I have the full game

[argyle]

my first PC encounter was using an Atari ST my dad had. i mostly played games on it, there was a flight simulator i remember playing a lot. My dad also ran a BBS on another system and I would dial into there to chat.

 

I'm apparently very old.

[PlayStation 2]

The first encounter I remember was with an eMac. I remember watching that Green Eggs and Ham short on it.

[Guest]

I'm not very old so my first PC was running Windows XP or Vista and I believe a Penitum. My first console was either an original Xbox or a console that could play SNES and NES games. I still have the NES/SNES thing, just wish I kept my Xbox... Might buy a new one just cause

[plsno]

Whatever computers my elementary school had back in the late 90s

[Princess Luna]

IBM Windows98 that my mother used at work [:

[ElZamo92]

The first PC I ever used was one that they had in my elementary school. It was a MS DOS machine, and that's all I can remember about it, and my first PC was a first generation Pentium 4 custom PC my dad bought for relatively cheap.
