So yeah, title says it all. What was your first computer???

My first box was :

Pentium II @ 233Mhz
ATI 3D Rage 4 meg
4gig 5400RPM Fujitsu Drive
Acer 24X CD Drive
64 megs SDRAM PC100
Yamaha OPTI Sound Card
33k Modem

Ah, good times...

I remember when we first got it, that computer was a real fast bitch. We still have that box but now my sister uses it with more ram and a bigger drive.

Apple II - Sneakers is the best game in the history of the world.

uh i cant remember the specs on first box......

I know it was made in taiwan and it was a horizantal one instead of a vertical tower

I also STILL have an Apple IIe

Posted by Snipz0r I also STILL have an Apple IIe

Heh, I have a couple Apple II's, and Apple III, a Classic, a couple SE's, and a Lisa to top it off. Sweet.

My first? An Apple IIc. I lost it

Though my first *real* computer, was an IBM Aptiva system.

AMD K6-2 380mhz
Acer V75M
256MB PC-133 SDR-RAM (originally 64MB PC-100)
4GB Seagate 5400RPM HD
nvidia geforce 2 MX400 64MB PCI (was originally onboard 8M
Crappy integrated sound

Yah.

Macintosh Centris 610
$2500 in 1993
20 megahertz
4mb ram
512kb graphics

we even spent an extra $250 on a "Compact disk drive" which my dad declared unnecessary.

i even have somewhere around here the $200 reciept for the 4mb ram upgrade.

Commodore C128/C64. 128 Kilobytes of ram in 128 mode and 64 kilobytes of ram in 64 mode. 2 mHz of speed in 128 mode and 1 mHz of speed in 64 mode. Monochrome green monitor. 1 5.25" floppy drive.

Commodore Vic-20. 3k ram, external tape drive (used audio tapes!). I ended up buying the 16k expansion card for it later on. What a rockin' machine!

some 486 that had some awesome game where you bombed german trains. It was my dads i was only around 4 when he got it.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Commodore 128c (Have this one and it works.)
Atari 1040st (I still have this one and it works)

TRS-80

Good Trash!

My first one was a 486 Sx25mhz with 4mb ram and a HD of 170mb.

My parents acquired me a Commodore 64 Business Edition with about 100 disks, original monitor, two cartridges, tape drive (a tape drive that worked with normal audio tapes ), dual floppy drives, fancy microswitch joysticks, and a printer THAT I USED UNTIL I WAS 11 - it took about 30minutes per page to print something - before I was born so I used it constantly and learned most of my reading/writing/math on it before the first grade (kindergarten was spent just playing "Ninja Turtles" and "Ghostbusters", and drinking powdered milk :s).

I had the same thing.

When I was a kid my mom got the family an Apple IIGS for christmas right after they came out, god knows how much she paid for it. That thing was sweet, you had to reboot every time you wanted to switch programs, and we had both the 3 1/4 and the 5 1/2 floppy drives. we had that for about 6 years, but when my sister just about had a nervous breakdown when it took 5 hours to spellcheck a paper she was working on, we finally upgraded. I still remember playing hours upon hours of Spy Hunter on there, and some game called "Montezuma's Revenge" which was really sweet too.

I remember Montzuma's Revenge and Spy Hunter. Good times. Ever play Frak!? It's about a caveman with a yo yo.

My first system was a Commodore 64 with a tape backup, 2 5 and a quarter drives and a ROTARY DIAL 300 baud modem. Served me well from ages 7 - 10 or so.

My first PC was a 386, 200 Meg HD, 4 mg ram, 24.4 modem.... HUGE speed increase from previous system. I think I've had maybe 20 systems in my life.

My first computer i had could barely run windows 3.1, it ran MS-DOS 6.22 though, It was about 2000$....in 1989.

My first ever box. It was an IBM from I think mid 1982. It booted on dual 350kb 5 1/4" Low Density floppys. It ruled. I still have it, sits in my workshop.

Sanyo MBC 555. 3.6 MHz 8088 processor. 256K of RAM. 8 color display but I only had a green monitor. This computer actually had TWO half height 5.25 inch floppy drives! I also had a 2400 baud modem. Man I loved that computer, I learned so much from playing around with it. You pretty much had to write all your programs yourself - I wrote a very nice graphics editing program which could even dump the images you made to my (dot matrix) printer. And it could even save/load them, but that took a LONG time - like 15 minutes to read all the pixels and write them to disk. I wrote a terminal program and a BBS that you could dial into and leave messages, and tons of other little programs.

We got the computer second hand, but it was about $1200 in 1983 or so. Last year my mom gave it away which bothered me for a bit, but I realized that the computer had fully served its purpose (and done so very, very well) and it was time to let go. Still have lots of good memories of that thing.

My first computer (1981) was an CP/M, S-100 bus based system called a Northstar Horizon. It had a 4MHz Z80 processor (8-bit), 64K of memory, and 2 338K 5-1/4 hard-sectored floppy drives. This computer was connected to a Televideo 910 terminal via a 9600-baud serial link. The other serial port was connected (initially) to a 300-baud Applecat acoustic modem, later replaced by a Hayes Smartmodem 1200.
