An Acermate, they don't make em anymore.
I had it upgraded several times back in 1993, it came with nothing and I put in cdrom/sounds/faster cpu/extra ram, and when the internet became available a 14.400 kbp modem.
technically... an old heathkit 8088, although I do still have my amiga's (yes, I have 3 amiga's..... what??)
and I do have an old DEC 320 in the garage oooohhh baby

TRS-8080
so whats a floppy?
My first, if you could call it a computer. A Tandy.
As well, I have an Amiga and an IBM PC with 512k of memory in the closet. Er...Ummmm...Do you think windows will run on this? LOL
Floppys = Boat anchors.
Modem........sigh........I fell old now........I had to strap my first one into a shoebox style cradle and hang on for the long ride. As well I had to wait on the tape deck to cue up.
I hang my head in shame..... :(
Anyone remeber the Timex Sinclair..............? :confused:
My First Computer Was an Old IBM PCjr... talk about old... this thing didn't even have a hard drive in it. All it used was 51/4" floppy drives... oh yeah, and cartridges... I had a BASIC programming one, but then the PCjr bit the dust... *sob*
I still have the computer, and the motherboard and cards are now mounted in my locker at school... *sigh*
nib -- he he I still got a reel with pdc update files for HP's T500
1600 bits per inch man!! oohhhh yeah

Our first computer was an Apple 2e. Technically it was my parents. My first computer was a 386 with Win 3.1, and itty bitty hard drive, and a 2400 baud modem. I still have it, but it lacks a motherboard.
My first system was a C64. Those were the days. I loved my C64. Actually I've still got it. And it still works. hehe. Good for some of the older games like Ghostbusters & crap like that.
