Your first computer ever???
What was the first computer you ever had??
Mine was a Spectravideo 286... it was '87 or '88 i guess.. a second hand one. Commodore 64 was something really woow...
The first one i had used was in '84 .. at my friends home. his dad used the computer for work and it was really woow... we could play hangman sometimes... it had something like 20 or 30 words in total in its memory for that game.
I remember how with that 286 i was so grateful when someone could copy me an entire floppy of games in dos!!! i miss those games.. simple ones, where you just shoot the airplanes or games like pacman ...
It did have already a floppy drive.. ehehe!
Then passed to the micr... (ups.. i was about to say a forbidden word here??) .. some pcs.
The last pc was an Acer ... (laptop, 512t) which i got in '99 .. and now runs only redhat (7.3) ...
Untill i abandoned all the microsoft stuff and fell in love with an iBook )) (combo..)
How about your first computers and computer experiences???

Now Amiga is dead; it's the end of a fine story (nearly dead i should say, but practically it's dead)
1. Its running Windows
2. The sound card and video card share IRQ's so the computer crashe's say once or twice aday
3. I am still using it.

At any rate, Macintosh, 512k baby! It is dead now though
Man, I loved to play dark castle and mouse stampede! Also, I could bring nice typed up book reports in to school which at the time was very rare and a big plus to a kid with hand writing as bad as mine!

It used Tape as storage, you could copy commercial games using any old tape to tape recorder.)
My Dad had a Mac Plus later (still works! - used to play Dr Who and the Daleks).

Then came the TI-99/4A which I traded even steven for a Commodore 64 and a GrandMaster Flash (vinyl) album.
Next was a 386 which became a 486 thru beaucoup upgrades (learned with this comp. that major upgrades aren't worth it at all, just RAM, HD & video).
SE/30
IIcx
Quadra 610
7100/80
8100/100
PowerBook G3/233
We've also owned a 7200/120, a 7100/66, a Quadra 950, a Performa 630, a Bondi iMac, a PowerBook 1400, another SE, a Blue and White G3/350 upgraded to G4/400, and a PowerBook G4/550.
I remember how cool it was to get my own "color computer" for myself. I couldn't believe it when my parents let me have the IIcx. I liked to play Escape Velocity on it.
Hey, "once you go mac you never go back' lol
Had a tape drive, yes like audio cassettes. You had to keep track of where programs were stored by the counter. Programs took 5-10 minutes to load.
Had a couple of games on cartridges as well.
