Do you remember your first computer?

my first computer was 5 years ago. My brother-in-law made it for me. It couldn't hold any more than 156mb of RAM which caused me to have problems all the time with programs crashing. The video card ended up going bad because they discontinued updates for a lot of the hardware i had on it. Now I have a dell with a lot of ram and cant imagine having to go back to what I started with!

The first computer I ever bought was bought in either 2000 or 2001. I'm using it right this very moment to respond to your discussion lol. I'm amazed it is still working after all these years. It was made by my cousin and I bought it for $200, (which that same cousin gave me for a graduation present lmao!)

Yes, I remember a little something about my first computer. I had asked my dad for one when I was 16 and to my surprise, he got me one! However the one he gave me had no way to get online and it was so limited it was basically useless, but I used it anyway as I was so happy to have a computer, even if it didn't have any real function. LOL I guess I should have explained it better to my dad when I said I wanted a computer as I had wanted to be able to get online with it, as the Internet was still new and exciting. But I didn't think about it at the time, so I lost out. Then again I would have had to been dreaming as there is no way my dad would have gotten me a computer like that. LOL

I remember my first computer way back in the early 80's. It has no hard drive nor CD Rom, I only use floppy disks. There was no "Windows" then, and the software I used were DOS-based like Word Star/Word Perfect and Dbase. It's funny how we do manage back then.

I still miss my first computer. I bought it in 2000 and used it until 2006. It developed all sorts of strange quirks, probably because when I first got it I knew nothing about security, and I was completely self-taught in using a computer. I now only have a laptop but would prefer to use a desktop.

I got my first computer last 2 year. Just 1 GB Memory, 160 GB HD, 3.2 GHz CPU.

I got my first computer five years back, and it was second hand one. It was Celeron 500mhz processor with 128MB Ram and 20 GB Hard disk. I bought it for 140$.

My first computer was shared with a cousin and it must have been at least 20 odd years ago! lol I can remember it but it was nothing like the computers we have nowadays! i also used to build computers so I hope you used ESD protection when you took your computer apart! lol xxx

The computer I am using now is my second computer. My first one gave good service but it was a P2, which couldn't accept xp. I now use a good updated laptop with vista.

The very first computer I ever purchased was way back in 1982. It was an Atari computer, which cost me about S$5000. My colleague then owned one of these machines and brought it to work. A number of us were so addicted to it that we couldn't tolerate without one, and so we also purchased a set each for our own enjoyment. The Atari was then a forerunner of the IBM PC, and at that time, only the Apple II was around with its green monitor, while the Atari already had a color monitor. While we could program in Basic language, we used the machine for arcade games more than anything else. In the early 80's, the Atari was the superior game machine over all others. I remember parking my Atari in my girlfriend's house (then we were not married yet) and she and I had lots of fun playing games like Pacman, Space Invaders, Galaxian, Missile Command and Donkey Kong. The games came in cartridges, and had to be slotted into the Atari console. This system lasted me four years, and I must say paying $5K for such a system was a hefty sum at that point in time. Since that Atari, I've had an IBM XT, 486, Pentium 2 and now 2 Pentium 4 PCs. And I do much more than buying a computer to play games only. I've come a long way since that first system that I purchased.

Of course I remember because this is my first computer the one I'm using now. Can't afford to have one when I'm in my younger days.

waw that was long time ago .. i think it was 6-7 years ago.. i was in school at that time .. it was expencive .. did you said you bought it for $100 thats very cheaaap .. waw.. we paid about $800 or 900 not sure exactly .. but at that time i wasn't living in u.s i was in jerusalem ..

I had a tandy 1000 back in 1987. It had no harddrive only ROM. Everything had to be stored externally using 3.5 disks. But boy, they were small even back then. They're sleek and all. But everytime I tried to install a game, most RPGs then were 10 disks. You had to do it in that order too. Well now even with new pcs, it's no different. There's still a lack of memory, & speed. When will we ever catch up? lol

I do remember my first computer. I was 15 and just moved out of my dads house due to, well lets say differences. I lived with my boyfriend and his father. His dad bought a brand new computer for me. I was in heaven I never had anything so new before. Well, we basically were renting to own it from Circuit City. Anyways back then I didnt know how to clean it out or anything like that so it got really bad. Then after that the pipes upstairs leaked and got all over it and pretty much fried the thing. I was so sad. But Ive had a few computers since then. Older ones that ive had to mess around with, sometimes for days. It was so aggravating. Now I have a new one again and hope it can last a lot longer now that I know a bit more about them.

My first was a brand new Commodore 64, which cost about $300 back in 1984. I thought I was on top of the world, rockin' with 64K of memory and a tape drive.

yes i remember as well..also because i have it and it works nowadays too!!it is an assemblated computer very old style..so big..!!the os run in it is dos very old version and one of the first windows version ehehe!!i changed it because havnìt the possibility to connect to the different net but even now for basic operation it works!!in reality this i use now it is my second one so even if it is 6 years old but it works good as the first day;)

My aunt bought me my first computer. It was really slow and you could only hook up dial up connection to it and it was very very slow. There was alot of things you could not do with it. I would have to guess I got that computer about 9 years ago somewhere in that area.

My first computer was a 133MHz, when on Turbo. Fantastic for its day, but it stuck around for too long, if you ask me. It's fun to poke around with nowadays.

I come from China!computer for us is not cheap!Last year I bought " china lenovo " for almost 700$!

First computer I had and still do was a old HP Pavillion, runs win 98 and has next to no ram. It was/not anymore tight.. Got it to long ago to remember. Sorry its not as old as your alls but that was my first one.
