We started pretty late with a top of the line™ Intel Pentium III 500 MHz and 64 MB RAM and an amazing 8 GB hard drive. And a Riva 128 graphics card. ____________________ Originally posted by HotSoup |

I don't even remember what my first computer was like--I don't have it anymore. Literally all I remember about it is that it was running Windows 3.11. Little old 3-year-old me obviously didn't care much about computer specs.  ____________________ |

Paulguy's Post configuration Apple //e with the duodisk drive and green monitor. I was maybe 3 or 4 and I only had some lame math game and didn't have a manual so I didn't know it had a BASIC interpreter, not that I would've done much with it at 4.
My first x86 computer was a 33Mhz 386/SX with I think either 4 or 8MB of RAM, 1.44MB floppy drive and this neat CDROM drive that had a spring loaded tray mechanism that you pushed in to lock and unlock, then pulled out with your hand. We need to bring these back; no more shoddy motor driven drive trays that jam. It ran Windows 3.1 and DOS but I didn't know the DOS command line very much until I was 8 when we had our next computer. ____________________ |

| My first computer was a Packard Bell 486 in the early 90s running Win 3.11, then we upgraded to 95 a year or two later.
We also had a Tandy laptop with no battery, no hard drive, and a monochrome display. That thing was rad. ____________________  |

| While I don't really know the specs, my first computer was running Windows 98 with an 8GB hard-drive and I think an Intel Celeron Processor.
I had a lot of fun with the thing, playing games and stuff. I still have it, but it's all taken apart and I replaced Windows 98 with XP. |

It had 5 KB of RAM or some such. No hard drive, just floppy disks and cassette tapes for storage. Later, he upgraded to a Commodore 64, which was probably the first computer I ever used.
Mine was a Windows 98, with uknown processor, ram, ect. I still have it, but it is rarely used. When it is, it's mostly for storing data and scedules.
