What Was Your First Computer?

[smiteedawgwv]

My first one was a Tandy with 256K of RAM. It kinda looked like a typewriter and the 5 1/4" disk went in the side. I remember playing games like Liesure Suit Larry and Kings Quest, it would take like a minute for the screens to change. Then the message would pop up to insert a different disk to continue. I'm thinking that was probably around 1987. Now I get pissed off if it takes more than 2 seconds for a web page to load. My how times have changed, LOL.

Our first computer was a Tandy 3000 built in with so many friggin awesome games... mostly game show games like Classic Concentration, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, etc... I LOVED that computer... not sure what eventually happened to it.

Now, I am on a Dell Inspiron B130 Laptop... had it for almost 2 years.

We either had a 286 or a 386.

I was PISSED off when Pete secretly bought a modem after I told him NOT to.. We were poor and dial up modems were expensive. I was more pissed off that he LIED to me about it.

That was about 14 years ago..

We were online when you could play things like hangman with the locals and chat with them, and there was a "gateway" to the internet.

The first one I ever used was in high school in 1981. We were the first class at Valley to have a computer. Don't remember anything about it except that the first program I wrote drew a flag. That was pretty awesome back then. Now, every student that comes there gets a laptop insteaed of books, and there are two big computer labs. There's more computers there than their are students. The first one I owned came from the Wharton School at UPenn. Got a bud that works there and when they would buy new models, they sold the old ones for $150. That was 1992. I played games and got on message boards that got me laid...LOL.

My first home PC was when I was 4. My dad was always about having the latest and greatest electronics, and he bought an Apple II GS. He bought it about a month before it came out, so we were given an Apple II C until the II GS was available retail. I remember the II C had the green CRT and when we got the II GS it was color screen and came with a color dot-matrix printer. It has a 5 1/4" floppy and came with no games, but we'd buy books that contained programming code and we would type for days and days to end up wth a game that did something like simple math. LOL. Shortly after buying the computer we signed up as one of the initial members of AOL (at the time it was just dial-up). We would go and download cooler games such as slot games and yahtzee. I was totally the envy of our of my friends in kindergarten!

My first computer was an IBM. I still remember how excited I was when we got Oregon Trail for it( that was a newer model though). Now my Dell kicks some ass!

Our 1st home computer was a HP Pavilion bought 10 yrs ago. Since then we bought two Dell computers and two Dell laptops (everyone has their own lol). I'm still using the old HP

Mine was my Magic 8-Ball. It was recalled because it kept saying the same thing over and over again. Now mine is HP Pavillion dv9610us Notebook.
