What Was Your First Computer?

Commadore 64 for me, with the 5.25 inch drive...

Then various Macs (a plus with no internal and and external 10 meg hard drive, then an SE/30, then a Performa 410, then a PowerPC 6500 [I think] then a blue iBook with a 3 gig hard drive, and now this 550 mhz PowerBook with 256 ram, and a 20 gig hd and an external fire wire 40 gig hd and a CDRW/DVD dual drive!)

I also had the Vic20 and tape drive... love the old scott adams text adventures... you can get those emulated on the net if you look hard enough...
took me a long time to find, but I found the old Vic20 emulator and all the games WOOHOO
and you actually have to type "load ""progname"" and it says press play on tape lol

Good topic,
Mine was a Packard Bell, Legend 300sx
It was acctually a 386 sx
I had a whopping 8 megs of ram
a 14.4 modem(not original equipment)
VGA graphics
and 90 megs of hardrive space....that windows 3.1 raped most of. Eventually I deleted Windows and simply ran dos. It was really all i needed to run Telix and do the whole BBS scene. It was sad when i watched my favorite BBs's fall to the Internet. OH well i fell in love with it soon after.

I don't remember the brand name- but i'm sure it was a 286...

My first computer was an Atari 400xl. This little baby packed in 16k of ram and had a audio tape drive to load software. I remember staying up all night typing in Basic code to the editor so I could play a game, only to find out I needed 32k =(

i started out using my dad's wok computers when i was 5 or 6, i think they were in the 286 region, the first computer that was mine was a pentium 90, after a year or so the mother board blew so it was put in the garage, i think it's still there...

[waverebel]

mine was a Amstrad 16mhz 286 with 1mb RAM and 40MB hard disk, it ran Dos 3.0 which meant having to partition th HDD into 32mb and 8mb because it couldn't adress more than 32 MB of disk space I think.

I still have the 8" floppies from my first computer.
