What was your First computer like

My first computer was an old windows 98. i can remember the specs of it.... but i hardly used it... until we got broadband and dad got the network working in the house. Then when dad upgraded the main computer of the house, i got the old one. The specs were.. 768MHZ CPU, 512MB Ram, 40GB Hard Drive. Don't know anything else. I recently gave that computer to a friend. On the computer i used to do MSN download and now i love my new one. The specs of my new one are here

So yeah. :cool::D:P:)
 
I was so young it's hard to remember, I just know it was a hand me down and all I could do was use it for math calculations.
 
lol my dad had an old computer and we would have to restart it if we wanted to do something else on it HAHA. If i want to play this game called cosmo (scroll game) then i would have to restart lol
 
It's not mine but my mom's boyfriend has an old compaq. It has windows 98, 500mhz processor, 64mb ram, and a14gb hard drive. I am going to buy it from him and add some ram and screw around with it. It doesnt even have a ethernet port. LOL
 
An apple, that was a few years old when I started using it in around 1996. Not sure if it was an apple 2 or what, all I know is it only had a floppy disk drive and was an ugly shade of beige :P
 
I have no clue what my FIRST one was, but I was about 2 or 3 when my Dad brought home a laptop from work. He had also "leased" (or rented, IDK which) a system from work (think it ran DOS) and it was slow as hell. I remember his laptop was much faster. It ran Windows 3.1 :D

My other family computer was a gateway 2000 (Bought in about 95 or 96) with Windows 95. I don't think the processor was much faster then 100Mhz (PII) but my Dad upgraded it a few times until it got to about 300Mhz. I was at the dump last year and found one on the swap table, so I took it home and fired it up. Man it was slow! Well, the 2000 (One my dad had bought) lasted me until about three years ago when I got a Dimension2100 from my grandparents. Pretty speedy for its age!

My second computer was a custom build made by my Dad. I still don't know the specs, but I know it had a 500Mhz Celeron in it. Got our first CD-R drive when I turned 12 or 13. We were watching T.V. one morning and HSN (Home Shopping Network) had a special on a gateway E-4100 so we got that. That's the current family computer. Only mod has been more memory, GPU, and case.

My personal computer is in my sig. It blows all of them out of the water.
 
mine was a packard bell. bought it for over 3 grand which included monitor, mouse, and keyboard. it had either windows 95 or 98.... i forget

from what i remember the processor was about 266mhz pentium 2 and 16mb ram. hard drive was 5 gigs. died after 2 years. when i took it apart it had stuff i've never seen before.

the only thing i salvaged was the processor. it'll be an heirloom
 
when i was about 4 i had a machine running 95. All i remember is not being able to use anything but Paint and my dad breaking the ancient printer that was louder than a freaking bomb. :)
 
Lmfao, I just found a gateway 2000 from 1997 (Waitaminute...), and I remember the same thing serious.

And now I remember "fixing" a computer in kindergarten that was frozen while we were playing Tonka Construction. The Solution? Ctrl-Alt-Del. I remember my teacher was gonna call a technician....all seems so basic now, but I was like, hailed by the teachers. Iunno.
 
i still have my first comp. it wasnt actually mine, more li,e the family comp and it was'nt that bad. it has windows 95, 64mb ram, 4gb harddrive, and im not sure. i have it somewhere in my closet. i took the floppy disk outta it and planned to use it in my comp. the comp should be around 1996-7. its an old compaq. it has some different process or, not a intel or anything. it still boots up and stuff. its wierd though looking back at it, my iPod has more space than that. ill post some pix up later
