What about your first computer?

I think i had bought my first computer ,nearly 3-4 years back.

 

My first ones were Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC 464

 

Oomago...this is the masterpiece, Vic-20! Was this your computer? Would you please tell me in which year you used it?

Is the CPU integrated with keyboard?

 

ohhh it was a commodore 64 with floppy device
nice times

 

Mine was P II 266 Mhz, 16 MB Ram 2 gb hrd drive bought in 1998 or 99...and I still have it with me....but not using it now... but cant sell as well....

 

mine was a secondhand 386 machine. not bad for writing papers.

 

now I'm sad - nostalgia almost made me puke - sigh... a Packard Bell 486dx2-50 - that was my first girlfriend - how sad... shhh don't tell laptop

 

My first computer is a Cyrix 486. It is using a 5/12 floppy disk drive.

 

Apple II+

1megahertz clock speed. 16k RAM. Floppy drives. Cost me over $3000 around 1980 or so.

Still have it. Still works. Literally wore out the keyboard keys - space bar has two valleys where my thumbs wore the key down. Case has several worn down spots where my fingers kept hitting it.

Published over 200 reference booklets using it. Still use those booklets every day. Also published one book which I sold to whomever would pay me $90.

Moved up to Macs in 1993. Still have the original and use it every day. A few years back was able to buy 36 Macs (without keyboards and monitors) for $5 each. Use one of those every day. Rest are back ups. Acquired a G3 Mac for free about 4 years ago and use it every day also.

Acquired this 3-year-old Dell for free last year and use it every day. Hate it, but it does things my Macs won't do, so I am stuck.

All told, been a self-taught computer nut for almost 30 years now.

 

I actually still have the board/processor/ram from my second computer which was based on an M571 motherboard that was able to run EDO and SDRAM at the same time.

Friends couldnt wrap their heads around how it was possible, but I made it work somehow.

 

my first "computer" was a tandy that plugged up to the tv, no HD just had to code anything you wanted to do in basic, it also had a spot to plug in games similar to the old atari games, this was mid 80s

got my first desktop not long after that, an AT&T with an 8086 processor and a 21 megabyte HD, running DOS

 

You are the boss, Mr. mmerlinn .

 

wow. Nice post. I have my first pc as p4.

 

well the 1st PC I ever used was our 1st family PC. It had 700MHz P3 CPU, 128MBs RAM and a 4GB HDD. The 1st PC that I ever owned myself I got about 6 months back was a hand me down P4 1.8GHz, 256MBs RAM and a 40GB HDD. But 3 weeks ago I bought myself a shiney new PC with money I earned in a summer job. 2.5GHz Dual Core,2GB RAM,500GB HDD and nVidia 9600GT Graphics card. <3
