    I got my first when i was 10 or 11, it was an Atari 65XE, i only played games on it, data recorder and tapes for games, screeching noise as it loaded and boot errors 60 secs from finishing, a stick controller and games with names like Bounty bob strikes back.

    Wow, how times have changed. :)

    We had one when I was 7 years old. It was a Compaq 286, old for its time, but a novel gadget for me.
