Commodore 64. No floppy or tape drive at first so if you programmed it you had to leave it on till you where ready to wipe it.

Atari 400 with the same no save option. I later got a tape drive and then a 5.25 inch hard drive.

The first computer I every used was a Apple IIe in school.

My first PC was a 286 without MS Windows, only DOS.

Wow! This bring back memories. Atari BASIC was my first programming language. Poke and Peek, Sound, Goto, and GoSub bring back memories of keying in programs from magazines.

A "trash" 80 on loan from the my middle-school.

My very first computer was a 286, i dont remember how much RAM it had but the HD was 20mb i believe. It ran DOS because windows wasnt invented yet.

I bought it through a lawyer which caused some issues because the person hadnt formatted the HD so i had access to a bunch of sensitive data like loans, deeds and the like.

Compaq Presario back in like 1997 or 1998

We got a PC in August 2005, with Windows XP. I think it's 32 bit. It had like 1 or 2GB RAM. Can't remember anything else (and we still have it today to store music/photos on which I backup reguarly onto DVDs/another hard drive).

The first computer I had in my room is as old as me. I was nine when my parents replaced the one they gave me with a new one. They got it when it came out after I was born the same year and I used it till I got a new one last year.

It is a original iMac running Mac OS X 10.3.9

The processor is a 233MHz PowerPC G3
It has 384MB RAM (came with 32MB)
128GB Hard drive (Came with 4GB)
ATI Rage IIc graphics processor with 2MB of SGRAM memory
15inch CRT 1024x768 display

It still turns on but it is VERY slow compared to my new computer.

Neat. What color is it?

I had one of those for like two days once. My friend gave me one (Tangerine!) that was on his shelf collecting dust and within a couple days I gave it to a guy who had no computer at all.

If it's one of the original ones, it's Bondi Blue. Those were freaking awesome!

I bet Apple still has a warehouse full of those nasty green ones.

Haha!

My wife came with a green iMac. It's sitting in our office. She calls it, "Blimey the LiMac."

She's a very clever lady.

Thanks! I think so, too.

It is the original Bondi Blue iMac with the tray loading drive ^^



It has a small crack by one of the speakers but my father says it works just like it did when he bought it! It is a little bit faster though I think because he upgraded HD RAM and Video over the years. I love the sound Macintosh makes when you power them on. It sounds like a big BONG sound but some people say it sounds different to them.

I miss that sound...

We used to have one of those in our computer lab.
And it was always breaking down!

It is funny though because even my new Macintosh from last year makes that sound when I power it on O.O

I wish there was a way to disable that sound. Sometimes, like if you have a roommate, you want to power on quietly.

I had that problem as an underclassman, too. But my sophomore year, I roomed with a guy with 9 computers, so the place sounded like a machine room, anyway. So I didn't worry about it.
