    What was your very first computer?

    Mine was the Commodore 64 back around 1983. I loved that computer, and had some good memories from that time. Like running a BBS on my parents home phone line ("evenings only" ). I remember faking I was sick one day back in grade 8, and I stayed home and played Castle Wolfenstein all day!

    Actually I had a TI 99 at one point as well. I remember buying it from K-Mart when it was on special.

    A blazing 10Mhz? 640K ram? 40MB hard drive? How much did those specs set you back? :-O

    (I'm betting it did cost a lot at the time!)

    P.S. My first computer came later... 133Mhz tower. It seemed so fast back then, too!

    The first pc here was a pentium 75.
    4MB ram, 1gb HDD, I remember playing the first version of "need for speed" on it (the "road & track" version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nee...ed_(video_game) )

    It's amazing that my htc cell phone has more power than that first pc had.

    First I ever toyed around on was a 386/25-33 (with a Turbo button and 4MB of RAM!); played Lemmings on it all day. Next I had a Fujitsu Pentium/60 (with the infamous FDIV bug), with a whopping 16MB RAM and a 540MB HD. This was sometime in '98; I couldn't even fit the contents of a CD on that thing. The next "upgrade" was to a different case+CPU, a P133 without MMX and the same components as the last one (mobo fried on the P/60). This was up to around 2001, when I got a P3/800, and went through several other boxes after that.

    Smile My first PC

    The first PC I owned was running Dos 3.x or 4.x something. I didnt have Windows or Linux back then. But I was able to run Lotus 123

    Can't remember the specs. But I remember using Thunderbyte anti-virus (an old popular anti-virus application)

    First Computer

    My very first computer did not even have a name (it was that unknown) 450 mhz, 10GB hard disk, 32mb Ram and runs on windows 95. If I look at that computer now with the kind of evolution that the cyber world has gone through, I clearly see just how far I have come from :-).
