haha well that was the reason they bought it for me

EviLGuY · 05-05-2004, 12:41 AM

I got a commodore 64 waaay back in the day for bringing home an exceptional report card.

Those are only TECHNICALLY a computer though. The next one I bought for myself.

Baal · 05-05-2004, 12:50 AM

Vic 20, baby! 3.5K of RAM, 1 MHZ, and a tape drive. Life in the fast lane...

venturi · 05-05-2004, 02:21 AM

They didn't. I built my own first computer with my own money.

kmanrox · 05-05-2004, 02:22 AM

Raf1 · 05-05-2004, 03:49 AM

My first was an Amiga with tapes I think. It was so long ago...

princess · 05-05-2004, 03:51 AM

I bought my own pc the first time..

Digipimp · 05-05-2004, 03:51 AM

my first was a commodore 64 as well, i was probably about 13.

Illicit · 05-05-2004, 05:32 AM

that was great

my first was a Packard Bell 286 1 Mb Ram and 40 Meg Drive....

what a way to lose your computer virginity...

then of course I proceeded to run a BBS with lots of porn pics on it

Fabien · 05-05-2004, 05:40 AM

They didn't buy my a PC i bought it myself

Mishi · 05-05-2004, 05:40 AM

I think they bought me a C-64 so I could be cool like all my friends.

ADL Colin · 05-05-2004, 05:46 AM

TRS80 so I could learn BASIC. I wrote a text-based NFL game based on a football board game at the time.

Heywood Jablome · 05-05-2004, 05:54 AM

I bought my kids their first computer so that they could make movies with the "Lego Steven Spielberg MovieMaker" set.

Pornwolf · 05-05-2004, 06:17 AM

They bought me my TI-99 so I could be all smart 'n stuff. It would have worked if Atari didn't come out not long after it.

Ross · 05-05-2004, 06:19 AM

Isn't there already a bigger thread about this?

Ron-AWE · 05-05-2004, 08:19 AM

My first one was a C=64 (can't even remember when i got it, it was xmas for sure). It broke down like every month and repairing it was the same cost as the whole set.. But I loved it =)

KMR Stitch · 05-05-2004, 08:21 AM

Nicky · 05-05-2004, 08:23 AM
