My first computer

Wow. Is your old computer still working? If it is then it's quiet an antique you got there. It's older than me. Hehe. And you seem to be a computer geek. That's great. All my life I've been dreaming to be a computer engineer, programmer, or anything relating to computers. I just didn't had the chance to fulfill it. Good job! shadow41

well after reading the responses it seems people here are using computers for quite a long time now.....most of the computers which have been discussed here are more than my age......anyways my first pc had an intel pentium 4 1.6 ghz processor,40 gb samsung hard disk and only 256 mb of ram.....yeah it's an outdated pc,btu with respect to those discussed here its quite new......anyways I have had a new one but i still have that old robust one as a memoir of my first interaction with pc's.....

It's amazing how time marches on, isn't it? I worked in research in the early 80's - my first computer job was putting tickertape through a reader so the info could be uploaded! I had a hideous "Black box" PC that ran on steam and audio tapes. Each program took ages to load, and none of the info could be configured because the data was scrambled and kept putting "v's" on the end of everything. I quickly realised what I had, in essence, was a very large and troublesome pocket calculator - so I used that instead, and then tapped in the figures so it looked like the "program" had worked it all out! We used to play games, too. Tennis is strangely pacifying, when all you have is a screen with 3 simple text graphics ... much easier to escape the boss's attention than "Grand Theft Auto 2010."

Lol my first computer was in 2000 got a HP with windows ME, it's really garbage compared to my laptop xD

I got my first computer at 1999.poor me:(

Thats a way too great. I'm born in 1984. so I dont really know that stuff. My personal computer was at 1998. It all I have. But my first contact with computer was in 1993-1994. It was IBM, and I dont remember the detail except it use windows 3.1. 2 years later it upgraded to AMD 3d now :).

Oh yeah I remember them...It took hours of programing and if you forgot to tape it, then you had to start all over again. The first thing I made was a Christmas song and wouldn't you know it, I forgot to put the tape in the slot. There was a place on the bottom where you put in the tape or you could plug in a small hand held recorder. I tried both and found the larger tapes worked best. Learned about programing and how hard it was then. Now it's a breeze, Sure glad things got easier as time went by. What took hours then now takes minutes.

i got my first computer in 2007 and i am still using it..it become a major part of life as it is very usefull in doing certain task like i used to complete my assimgnments on computer and also it's a great source of entertainment...

my very first computer is the one which iam using right now.it was purchased in 2004.its still going good.iam updating it.but in these days there is a limit for updation u cant simply go updating as the new machines are way ahead of us.i dont know how to but the technology is at rapid pace you cant get a system thats the best for more than atleast two months.not more than that.any ways is your system still working.happy mylotting cheers.

My first computer is the gift by my grandfather. He is a thrifty man in his all life, but he treats us well and be generous to us. We all like him very much. My dad always tells me to work hard on my studies, i think doing a good job on my lesson would be the best gift for my family. I would fight for my future and offer good life for my parents in the future.

my very first computer was an atari. runs also in Basic. i had fun with it playing games and making some programs. good for me cause there are alot of games made for atari during those times. i dont have to make one to play with although i tried to one time. its a tedious job programming a game. the only thing that turns me off is when i'm loading a game. tape dives are very slow. sometimes it takes more than half hour load just 1 game.

well I got my first computer, when I was 7. Sad is that it was somewhere 2000 something. I woult like to see some of those 1980s computers. I am stunding computers and I have seen some old parts and they are amazing. Well lets say my first computer was like any other nowadays computer. Only with older Os and system. Technology changes so fast.
