At what age you get your first computer?

There was always an old Radio Shack computer that you hooked up to the tv and backed up things on tape. The first real computer I got was in 96 just before I turned 11. An old PowerPC 6116 if anyone remembers them. Thing still works like the day I got it with no serious problems. I have only had this windows install for 2 months and it needs to be reformatted.

 

only 19.... to old!! lol

 

Well I got my first computer at the age of 12 or 13.

 

I bought one at the age of 18 pbably but before that i used my friend couple of times.

 

I got mine way back in 1999, when I was 15 year old.It was a P3 450Mhz with an 'impressive' 4 MB Creative Graphics Card.64MB RAM.8 GB HDD.The very first game I played on it was Unreal.My father had to pay $1500 for it

 

when i was in 4th

 

P3! look at you go! we had a 386! way before Pentium!

 

yeah perhaps I was lucky
I know people who've paid a fortune for 386s But that's the way it is in the world of computers.Maybe after 15 years we're gonna have a thread on DP recalling how we used core2duo and quadcore systems way back in 2007!

 

I got my first computer when I was like 8 years old, which is about 10 years ago. It was a Windows 95 edition lol.

Westoff.

 

I got my first computer when i was like 8, and it was old as hell.... LOL I cant belive i can remember that p.o.s..
I think it had like 8 mb of ram and like a 1.5 gb harddrive. pffftttt LOL. What a hunk of junk.

 

My dad bought our first ever computer when I was about 6 years old. It was the coolest thing on earth for me back then I bought my first ever computer just a year ago. I love it so much but I want a bigger screen, say 40"?

 

I had a ZX spectrum 48k when they first came out - I can't remember how old I was. I was 16 when I got my first PC - it was a 286 with one Meg of ram and a 40 meg hard disk, and it cost £550. I later on upgraded the ram to four meg which cost an extra £130.
