Do you remember your first computer?

[Paul2]

Tell me your first computer or computer related that you own or use...

Here is mine...

I believe my first computer is a 33 - 66 Mhz Pentium with Windows 3.1 or 6.1 or something like.  This Window version uses floppy discs instead of CD, I believe Windows 95 is the first Windows to uses a disc.  Then a couple years later, my uncle bought me an 200 Mhz Intel Pentium with 4 MB Graphic Card PCI running Windows 98 SE.  Those were the days, and man i remember how innocent and passive I was back then. I Remember I used to have lots of fun when I was younger.

commodore 64, if you want to count that.

First true PC was a toshiba 133.  Don\'t really remember any other specs.  Piece of shit though.

386 DX33, I think..  can\'t remember that far back.. Got a Commodore 64 and a 486DX66.  Then went onto a pentium 60. Then after that, i\'ve had so many pcs i couldn\'t name them in order.

IBM 5150


go go 4mhz cpu!
hard drive?  who needs a hard drive?
and what\'s this "windows" thing?

I had a Hewlet Packard. Thats all I remember.

4 mb RAM
240 mb HD (I think)

Your Comp 1 & 2 looks expensive for its time and whoa  $400 for 1 MB of RAM for your computer #3?  Is this in the late 80 early 90\'s computer or something?

Copm #6:
Pentium 4  1.3 ghz (What I have now) [/B]

Heh, and I was surprise to see some people are deciding to upgrade to a faster computer even thought the computers they are having right now is probably faster than what you have right now.  Hardcore PC gamers I say.

I guess I bought the RAM in 1990.

#1:  (~1981) Sinclair ZX81.  Z80 CPU, 1K RAM, and I got the 16K RAM module.  Stored BASIC programs on any audiocassette recorder.


#2:  (~1983) Atari 800XL.  6502C CPU, 64K RAM, and I also got an Indus GT "dual density" floppy drive.  Did a lot of stuff with this box.  I learned 6502 assembly language, and still have many manuals on that subject.  Awesome game selection for this machine.


#3:  (~1985?) Texas Instruments TI-994A.  See Vid\'s post above.  Even when it was discontinued and with a reduced price, it was still a waste of money.  

A bunch of other crap until I bought my first x86 based PC:

(~1993)  Zeos 486/66 w/win 3.11.  A piece of crap before the Pentium existed, but it ran DOS games like Civilization, Doom, and X-Com pretty well.  I remember I used to think the 486 was so incredibly fast compared to the 386s we used at work…:laughing:
