My very first computer was a Commodore 64. We had a million games we copied on 5.25" floppys.

I also had a Packard Bell: 1.2 Ghz, 2.1 GB HD, 15" Monitor w/ speakers attached, CD-Rom....I can't remember the rest. Quite a slow machine, and it filled up quick with downloads from Napster; when Napster first came out.

We used to have an amazing Hewlitt Packard 386 which ran at a blistering 19.6 MHz. It ran all the best games at the time like Mordor. I believe we started with Windows 3.1 until we upgraded to the revolutionary Windows 95, and we all know that program was flawless.

The worst computers I have ever used in my life were computers from my father's work, mainly old Pentium II laptops with very little RAM.

To read my aunt's problematic computer legacy, hit the text file at the bottom.

The only computer that I have ever used personally in my own home is the Gateway listed in my signature. Before the RAM upgrade, it had 128MB....sad and slow. The Seal Sound Card is a more recent upgrade---better sound :D

Heh, yes, I'm young, but not too old. :p And yes, compared to power users of this forum, my computer is a bit outdated.

EDIT: In the old days, aunt's machine ran Windows 95, which used to reside on Slave D (used to be master), until I deleted it and then formatted it to NTFS.
