I got my first computer when I was going to gratuated from university in the year 2002. It is the one of the most memorable things of my collge life, all of my clum company me to choice the computer at the computer town, after i got my computer, I play games and study with my clum together,that was my best time before I got to work.
But actually it was late for getting my first computer, because my major is computer since, so I always believe that I should got it more earlier even before I gone to the university, so I always feel that my computer skill is not very good as a computer learner, but I'm good at some computer game.(laughing)

I honestly can't recall when I had my first computer. It seems like ages ago and that computers have always been a part of my life.

I got my first Pc from my office and it was in 1995. There were many interesting things in that pc, still i remember. Some funny graphic softwares were there, like harvard graphics. Some banner writting softwares were also there, by which i used to make no smoking notices for my office.
Then in 1998, i purchased my own pc by taking a bank loan.
Now i have two pc at my home and i have my own laptop also. With time many things change in life.
Thank you.

Well, I had my first and only computer about 6-7 years back.
Now I totally addicted to my PC.
It is the first thing I touch when I go to home from college.
A while back I mainly used it to download & watch anime and to surf on orkut.
But now I have switched to be an online gamer.

I had my first computer when I was 14, and it was a birthday present from my parents. It was a very simple computer, I was able to write a little bit, but most of all I used the computer to play games. My brother and I usually played together and we had a lot of games. I took a long time for the games to load, and it didn't always work, so we were very happy when we were able to play one of the games, and we enjoyed playing together. That was almost 20 years ago. When I was about 16 I got another computer and I mostly used that computer to write, but I also had a few games.

I get the computer since junior high school, it was also because of the desire to know what is the meaning of the computer. At that time, the computer is only used as a 2D game, and nothing like today's picture with a very slow speed is also still use the floppy 3 1/2 inch then it becomes a rare commodity.

I have used computers through school, college and through work. So I have used computers for many years, I only bought my own PC about 8 years ago though. I started off with a desktop and loved it, shopping online was my favouite activity. I now have a laptop and prefer the laptop as its much more portable. I now could not live without my computer and the internet!
