I got mine wwhen i was 17, but against my better judgement, i decided to go with the Intel graphics media accelerator for my laptop and while it does generally fine for everyday computing, it cannot play some of the better computer games from recent years... I regret that decision every time i go down the computer games eilse at stores... :(

I got my first computer when I reached my graduation i.e., at the age of 18, but I had started using computer from the age of 15 I guess, used to go to cafe's & sit there & used to work on computers just to get to know about it & to check mails. Those times were great.

I shared one with my siblings as I was growing up and sometimes used my dad's, but I got my own around the age of 15. I accidentally downloaded a nasty virus that wiped out one computer and then I accidentally transferred it to my dad's. After that, he made sure I had my own computer so that if I did anything stupid like that again, it wouldn't affect anyone else's stuff. lol!

Sorry, didn't realized I'd posted the previous message. I tried to go back to change it and I guess it just added it. Oops.

I got mine when I was 15. I shared one with my siblings when I was younger, and I used my dad's sometimes, but then I accidentally downloaded a nasty virus that wiped them out. After that, my dad made sure that I had my own so that I would never ruin his ever again, and so that I would run the risk of loosing my sibling's files. lol!

My first PC was having Windows 98. I created boot floppy and I formated the PC, at that time I wasn't aware of what FORMAT means, but somehow I installed Windows and started PC.Thankfully no one else other than me were using PC.

14 yrs, that's when I got my first comp, an HCL Beanstalk. Then I assembled a new one, after the first one retired, an AMD 780G comp. Now, am thinking of plugging in an HD4850. But I used a computer for the first time when I was only 10 yrs, to play Doom, the classic!

I got my PC at the age of 20. but i had started using computers long before that...at school, at my cousins' places, etc... but, having your own computer is a different thing........and first time you get your computer,...its a memorable moment...:-)
