What was your first computer?

[Merkwürdigeliebe]

Well, the first computer in our house was before the Pentium 2 @ 333MHz with 64MB of RAM and I believe a Rage 128. I just can't recall the specs. I'm pretty sure it was a Pentium at more or less 100Mhz (133 I think), ran 8MB or 16MB of ram, Windows 95, and that's all that I can vaguely recall. I remember playing Death Rally, Pitfall, and F-22 Lightning II on it... good ol' times.

The first computer that was actually mine is in my sig! Still use it today, it's almost 8 years old!

The first computer that I actually built is also in my sig, but I sold it recently.

It still freaks me out that my first computer had a smaller hard drive than what you can get on a thumb drive now. Seriously, an 8gb thumbdrive costs what, 50 bucks? My parents paid like 3000 bucks for the first computer we had with a 100MB hard drive and 4mb of ram.

Lol...I think I might be using the same (well, ahem...same case, monitor, speakers...the stupid motherboard blew up on me last month...power issues, it wouldn't stay on) computer.

It was a Presario 5835 PC (Celeron 500MHz, 10GB Quantum Fireball HDD, 128MB RAM, i810 integrated graphics, CD-ROM, CD-RW 4X4X24 with the 2nd CD hidden behind a door panel).

It too had a 17" Compaq MV720 CRT monitor (which I'm using now) and JBL|Pro speakers (pretty awesome speakers too!), also which I'm still using.

I replaced the insides with the stuff listed under Rebuilt Compaq Presario in my sig...stupid thing...but now it runs awesome

My first comp was a Tandy Color Computer 2. A whopping 16KB memory, an external tape drive (my old cassette player), no hard drive, no floppy. Wrote my own programs in BASIC, typed in a lot of others. no printer, but I did have a 4-pen plotter that used rolls of 4" paper. high tech!

I've used computers since I was like 10
But The First One That I can Truly Call MINE was a Sony Vaio
P4 2.4 Ghz
512mb (upgraded to 1GB)
GeForce Mx-4 (?)
80GB

I must say even though Sony Vaios are over priced
they do build quality machines tho
