What was your first PC? - GoFuckYourself.com

GonePhishing · 12-18-2003, 05:37 PM

I don't mean commadore or tandy etc.. I mean like what was your first MAC/APPLE or IBM compataible system.

Mine was the AT 286 with 17mhz and 36 MB HD. EGA 8 Color Monitor.

I will forever remember playing Archon on that machine and other games like Thexdore

stevecore · 12-18-2003, 05:41 PM

IBM 286... back in the day!

JSA Matt · 12-18-2003, 05:42 PM

I'm not that old... IBM 386

JDog · 12-18-2003, 05:42 PM

Dude, I don't care bout the IBM/Apple computers, I remember the Commodore 64. That was a computer and that was my first one! The best one!

IBM 386 I remember the 4MB memory chips were really expensive

The Truth Hurts · 12-18-2003, 05:43 PM

8088 / no memory / no hard drive / (2) 3.5" Floppies / 14" CGA / and I believe a 900baud external modem / Telix for dialing into BBS' / theDraw for ANSI graphics

not much else to it.

Mr Pheer · 12-18-2003, 05:43 PM

My first was a Timex Sinclair 1000

I dont think that Apple or IBM had home computers out at the time.

StuartD · 12-18-2003, 05:44 PM

In '94 I bought a 66mhz 486, one of the first ones out with a cd-rom. I paid like $400 for a 4MB ram upgrade and then I bumped the processor up to 90mhz for another $400

This was 20+ years ago, i'd have to go get hypnotized to find that one out.

12-18-2003, 05:53 PM

Not counting my old Colecovision ADAM, it was a 386 25mhz.

The sad thing is, I gave it to my cousin and is still runs fine. Kinda wish I kept it for nostalgia. Might start going up in price again in another 10 or 15 years.

I had that for my ADAM. What a terrible computer that was. That was a pretty good game though, considering what else was out at that time.

Head · 12-18-2003, 08:35 PM

Fuck i think it was an IBM. With an amber screen. I can't remember the modle.

skeet · 12-18-2003, 08:37 PM

My first computer was a Texas Instruments TI-99a?

I had that zork like game (pirates something) and I saved were I was on a cassette tape.

From there I went to the vic-20 then the c64

Anyone here did any ?blue boxing? with their C64 back in the day? It was towards the end of the blue boxing age? early 80?s

We lived in a Detroit suburb at the time and I would call the Canadian information 1+area code+555-1212 when they answered I would blast a 2600hz tone then take over the line.

At the time I was just a kid and did not know the power I held? It was only later that I learned how to use the extra ?keys? or ?tones? KP, ST, A, B, C, D, etc?

Even back then I remember coming across hacked CompuServe accounts and using them.

Logon and first thing typing ?go cb?

Then it happened, sex, drugs and rock ?n roll?

I didn?t touch computer again till 1993.
