    Survived? I guess it does make some of us 'old(er)' :D

    I still consider a P3 a 'modern day' computer :p

    Now I know I am getting old lol. Mine was one of the first home computers IBM created. You know, the ones with the 5.25" floppy and hardly no space and it had a big old monitor.

    It started out with Dos and ended up with the first version of windows I think.

    Wow that was a very long time ago. I can't even remember the specs let alone produce a piture. ;)

    HA!

    Thats what I got after my Commodore.

    For all you "young" folks, I had to go to around 5 different stores over 3 days or so to find a color monitor!

    That's what I used my 1040 for. Love that unshakeable Atari midi timing :D Still got mine too.

    If only I'd have kept my Junos.

    Still have boxes of Commodore. 8 or 9 64s and a few vic20s. disc drives, tape drives, expansion drives, about 2000 disks. I hook them up every couple years and relive the "old days" and remember my first online experiences on Qlink. People thought I was weird back then being interested in computers. Those same people today are asking if they can get in on my next project.

    My first was a Compaq 286, that is in 93-94. It was a cross between a laptop and a desktop due to its build, although it wasnt portable and had an orange colored monitor. Still have it

    Our first computer was an Apple II. I was about 12 or 13 when we got it. This girl I had a crush on made the comment, "Our friends have a computer...they are so rich." I kept it a secret from her that we had one, too (even though we were far from rich.) She was at our house a few weeks later and ended up spotting it, and I was thoroughly embarassed. I think it impressed her, as she gave me my first smooch later that day!
