What was your first computer??

[GatekeeperCruelman]

My first computer I owned was an Pentium II 230MHz, 128MB RAM, VGA 32MB, Windows 98se with USB 1 and network possibility. I was really happy then I could run Red Alert 2 on that computer, and I got all parts free. I was a real newbie then (5 years ago, I think).
I still can remember the first computer we had at our home, commandline only. With a kind of notepad program, pacman and prince of percia. After years we also got an Commandor 64, with tapes and floppy's (the big ones).
After this all we got many windows 95 computers and I burned most of them
But my opinion is the older the computer is the more interesting it can be

My dad came home once with a 486 laptop. It ran on Windows 95 but crashed it's harddisk soon after I got it. Then I ran DOS but then the flopy drive chrashed too, so I needed another computer.

Right now I have 2 pc's. I am using one as a server, the other is my work station. It's a Pentium Celeron M. I run Linux now for almost a year, and I have to say that I love the freedom to tinker with everything in the system. I might be only 16 but my pc's are entirely configured to how I want them to be. (want to see my system managers doing the same with Windows)

I wouldn't be able to tell you even if I tried, so let me put it to you like this. It came with Windows 3.1 and it was before internet was readily available to the general public. I got it in like 1994.

I'm one of the few people from my generation who remember Windows 3.1 and what life was like without the internest. The next generation (starting with birth dates as early as 1985) doesn't remember. I was born in 1982, so I am on the tail end of my generation.

Ibm 390 with Windows 98. Still works, broken screen hinge and all. Use it still to tune scooters using Windows 2000.

Mine was a Heath Kit H89 running CPM on a single sided hard sector 5 1/2 floppy and had 56k memory. Used it till "2000" and got a IBM with 98se.

The first one I remember (after the shared one we all had) was an old Amstrad PC2086, 8MHz processor. It was funny when I tuned into it with the short wave radio. It had 640kB of memory... which wasn't really enough for anybody, as it was 1998.
Then, over the subsequent years, when its floppy drive broke and refused to boot, I got a PII 233, a PIII 450, bought a PIII 600 for £6, and now an Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (2.5GHz) for £200 ... hohoho, about time too.

Well, I can't remember so good, but it had only about 150 MHz processor, and only 64 MB RAM. But our family got a Commodore 64 later on, but that was just our second computer.
