Wow, shows how old I am - by the time PC's came out, I was no longer young enough to have my parents buy me stuff.
My Dad worked for IBM and got one the first PC Juniors - before they were released to the public. I remember going to house to use it.

My ex-husband had one of the Atari's, but I never used it.
The first PC I bought was an 8088 - sometime around 1985ish.
