    My first one was an Intel 486 (50 MHz) with 16 MB Ram and 650 MB Hard Drive. It used to run windows 3.1.
    Sounds cool...eh? ;)

    As a matter of fact, being in the Hard Drive profession, I still have one of the oldest hard drives - a 22 MB one where there is a switch by which you have to move the hard drive's internals manually to run the hard drive. It's antique and weighs perhaps 2 KG.

    My first PC was assembled one and was configured something like Intel Desktop 865, 2.66 GHz processor, 80 GB Harddisk, 512 MB Ram and a 17" CRT Monitor. I really miss that one :(

    My first computer was one I bought off the Internet.
    The guy said it had a 200mHZ cpu but it had a Cyrex (IBM) 150 mhz chip
    that was overclocked. The CPu fried after a year then I replaced
    it with an Intel 166mhz chip and set the jumpers on the motherboard to
    the correct position.

    My first computer was a DEC PDP-11.
    I then move on to an Aorrn Archimedes, the highpoint of my home computing. It is still in the loft. I then regressed to XP running on a Dell laptop. My first experience with computers was using punched cards to programme batch jobs.
