What was your first Computer?

[Kushan101]

An Atari 2600

Spoiler

The computer part was actually the front panel on the left there. The massive compartments were for storing bodies.

In all seriousness, a Windows 95 with a cracked screen. Playing Space Invaders on that son of a ***** was like shooting flies down a well.

Packard Bell - Windows 95. It was for family use. The days when having the internet was a rarity.

I'm surprised nobody has said Gateway 2000. I can remember everyone I knew having one of them first.

Spoiler

Perhaps it was an Irish thing.

You know, it's quite saddening to look at some of the specs, see the price tags and then think "Hah, so much money for so little!"... only to realise you may look back on the computer you have now in the future and think the same : (

My first computer was an old Dell with a Pentium 2 processor. Had a 32 GB hard drive, 128 MB of RAM and somehow managed to run XP.

When I built the delicious monstrosity that I currently use, I used the old Dell as practice. I ended up turning it into a piece of scrap because I accidentally shocked the motherboard.

An IBM with an impressive 3GB Hard drive. It had Pinball, I love Pinball.

Family computer was... well... I can't remember much. All I know is that it used DOS (I think), it used floppies and we were using it in when Windows 98 was out. I remember one which used the big ol' floppies, but that may or may not have been that one.

The one which actually belonged to me? A little before the Wii came out (I think) I got a laptop with Windows 2000. Pathetic little thing which couldn't run any games, really. Got hot real quick and it rarely connected to the internet. That died due to what we now think was a poorly-fitted component, but we don't care anymore. It was cheap.

Keep that another 14 years and it could be considered a historical artifact.
