what did you first use a computer for?

I,ve use my first computer for experimenting several software of what they are, on how to use them

I'm in school time, I have use a computer with Dos OS. At that time, i learn about the proggraming and the syntax in DOS. Now, I have windows OS and everything is more easy to do. My first computer with windows OS, I use it for playing a game and slowly learn about the word and spreadsheet processing.

The first time I ever used a computer was when I was 12 years old. The first program that I used was a word processor called WordStar and Lotus 123 at school. It was very boring back then not until I learn how to play games on DOS like Prince of Persia, Silent Hunter etc. It gets more interesting when I started using and learning Windows 95. the first program that I learned is the paint program.

I was born in 1981 and started using computer in 1988 when there was Commodore 64 and first time I used computer to play game. The RAM of the disk drive was I guess in bytes and each game took about 45 to 50 minutes to load. The Commodore 64 was to be connected with the TV, with a joystick to play, heavy keyboard and to load a game you have to write this:- LOAD"$",8,1 (You Type) The computer then loads and asks READY (Commodore 64 Responds) LIST (You type to show list in the old floppy with a circle in centre) Then after seeing the list , type run (game name) and then the game starts loading. I do not know what computer language this is as I have studied, C, C++ and other but never came across with the above mentioned programming syntax. If someone knows please let me know by sending me a "Private Message"

I used to listen music in computers initialy,but now I prefer mylotting.

I first used it when I was 3-4 years old. That time I used to learn ABC(the alphabet) from the computer(there was a software for it). It was such fun. I remember using DOS and Win3.1 which we launched as an actual program by typing win.exe. :D Cheers!

Well since my first computer was a commodore 64 there was not much out there except for a learning experience.

i think i was born in the computer age..so as early as 8-10 years old, i used the computer already..but we were using the DOS thingy..:) there were no mouse back then..hehe then it got interesting when i went to high school..that was the first time i learned how to use the internet..:) and here i am..making money out of it..:) love it!!!

My first experience with the computer was a 'BASIC' class. It was a tough class for me and I learned nothing. Then I learned WORD STAR, and it like a modern typing class. It was happen 22 years ago. Since that, the computer 'flying very very very fast...'

The first time I put my hands on a computer was in 1997. I was in college, taking up Office Management course. We have a laboratory session so I was so happy and excited. I am thankful learned about computers.

well I used mine for school work but after school work then it was games but when I was in school computers where just comming out but now it seems like they come out with new things to kepp you going

since I saw a computer I really like it.. my 1rst experience with computers was a MS DOS class and so on.. it was really great that at that age I started to learn dos.. a lot of guys out there still doesn't know how to use the command line..
