What was your first computer?

[WretchedGoat]

I think my first one was a Tandy, but it wasn't much more than a fancy video game machine back then for what I used it for. My first Internet-connected computer was an IBM Aptiva in 1996 I think.

I never did learn much about computers. So long as they work, that's all I need.

Well I'm 24 and I've only ever truly owned one computer, it's a MacBook Pro.

It was an Amstrad thing that would boot off a little floppy disk verrry slowly. It was so impressive as it could print a page and make a pie chart and little else. Before that there was a Pong tv game.

I remember the computers at school had the floppy disk drives, but I'm not sure what system they were.

Well, I had a laptop at work over 20 years ago, but don't remember what it was called; the laptops then were thicker than they are now.

I know this might be scary for those who can remember back in the dark ages of the PC market.

I remember my first computer. I bought it from the commissary in Ft. Carson Colorado. I can't remember how much it costed but it was mine and I loved it.

My first one was a commodore 64 and I remember pulling it out of it's box, hocking it up and staring blankly at a screen that had only the cursor blinking back at me.

I remember getting a book on computer programs and having the tediously type in line upon line of the only game I thought I could play and that was Chess. Oh, dear Lord, not only did I have to retype all those commands, every time I turned the thing on, I had the humiliating experience of loosing every chess game I attempted. Great yet another thing I sucked at and this time I put out money to be this humiliated. Heck, I could go back to high school and be humiliated and save my money. lol

It was not until I found the miracle of cassette drives that I saved myself the drudgery of typing in those commands, but all it did was hasten the humiliation.

LOL! I play chess against my computer now, and it cheats

I know, when I was in the Navy we had bins full of them and no way to find out what was on them. But we couldn’t get rid of them either.
