I've a computer. I bought it in 1985; actually, I had persuaded my dad to buy it when I was a teen then. The computer was a mere keyboard which could be plugged into a regular television. It didn't have a floppy disk drive or a hard disk. All data is stored in its proprietary chip, the central processing unit in the keyboard. I played my first game called "Fist II" by using a Datasette (data in a cassette), an external storage device which I bought separately later.
The computer was called Commodore 64 as it had only 64K of memory but it was one of the well-known computers at in the mid-80's. I used it to learn BASIC Programming Language - it was fun. I still have this computer with me, but it's not working anymore. I've carelessly thrown the power adapter away:(
Sweet memories. Do have an old computer that you're nostalgic about?

I have a pentium 3 computer with 64mb of ram size and 10gb of hard disk space. I bought it in 2000. That's not as old as yours but i intend to keep for long. It still works fine, but will shut down if you run heavy programs due to low memory. But i bought a laptop in 2008, which is what i use now.

Hey,
I don't really have an old computer, since I only got a computer when I was about 12 yrs old, and my bro is still using that same computer, it is quite a long time ago, but back then we got a fairly expensive computer. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!
