Your first computer was...
 

My first computer was:

486
8 MB of RAM
14 inch color monitor
3 1⁄2-inch floppy disk
Microsoft Windows 3.1

I loved to play Prince of Persia.

In 1994 I was just a 7 yo kid.

Atari ST - sold if fast after realizing computers sucked at the time, even the games were lame.

next computer was a 486 my dad got from his job - internet was just happening, i looked around, not much on the web and didn't come back to it until 2 years later, by that time there were some free porn sites around, some paysites too - i guess 1997.

Sinclair ZX81 with the rubber keys. My first laptop was the first ever Apple notebook, black and white screen with a whopping 30mb hard drive, still got it and it still works!

I got most of you beat, 1979

same.Those days were fantastic. So good that we can now have emulators on phones and tablets..

Timex Sinclair 1000, in 1982

Before that, I had a Magnavox Odyssey² in 1978, which was kind of like a computer.

Amiga 500 or a 286 PC, dont remember.

Amiga 500

Shemp - your post got me so nostalgic I went on ebay looking to buy one to revisit my youth :

I can't go back to the 80s.

I'll let you bid on it :)

phillips G7000/Magnavox Odyssey
then a ZX81

vic20. i so miss the days when you had to buy a magazine and type the code for a game in line by line to play anything.

Yep... my first computer also. And that's how I learned to program. Basic and then 6502 Assembler on the Vic-20 :)

Commodore 64c - 1541 5 1/2 floppy drive 300baud modem :1orglaugh

I donated this to a guy who collects old computers, it was one of many old systems I owned.

This was built as a kit. It used the National Semiconductor SC/MP processor. Originally had 256 bytes of RAM. You loaded machine code programs in one step at a time, flicked run and ran your program. I built this in 1977 when I was 10 with the help of my dad.

I had a very similar kit computer of the same era based on the Signetics 2650 processor. It had a whopping 1 kilobyte of RAM and a 4 x 1 kilobyte ROMS. When it was fully built out it had a Kansas City cassette interface, RS-232 paper tape punch and reader and connected to a Frieden Teleprinter where I was able to enter programs on an interface much like a typewriter into the 3.5 kilobyte Tiny Basic that I could load from paper tape.

First computer system I worked on DecSystem 10, then IBM 36.

First computer I owned was a Ts800 then a TI994a...still have the Texas instruments packed in an attic.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K :thumbsup

A Radio Shack TRS-80. Still have it today. It's 30 years old and still works :1orglaugh

C64 with tape and 5,25" floppy disc

first year c64 with that cheesey tape drive. eventually tricked it out with everything, two 5.25s, 1200 modem, etc.

then a 286 with a ten meg hard drive, which seemed so revolutionary.

my first computer was slow

Mattel Aquarius. I think i was the only person in the UK to own one!

My first PC was an Amstrad 1512 with an 8086 processor(!) with the upgrade of a hard drive on a card in the expansion port!

same company as barbie? :)

Yup! .....

wow :thumbsup

first real pc, an apricot 286 with two floppy drives and 720kb of mem for the whopping price of 5.000 dollars

In the late 80s we had:

PC-XT (clone) with 56k RAM, 20mB harddrive, dual 5.25 floppy drives, monochrome monitor (later upgraded with a Sperry 4-color CGI monitor).

It had a TURBO button! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

DOS machine - never saw Windows.

Went through the typical modem upgrade game with it - starting with a 1200baud Zoltrix, then a 2400, and eventually a 14.4k USRobotics sportster.

Upgraded that system to a 486-DX (forget the specs) - but I recall the monitor was a VGA. Added an HP Colorado Travan tape drive to that system at the time.
