    First Computer you had

    Looking for a CD on the shelf and I found a manual for the first computer I ever used. It was made in 1994 (I was born in 1992) It had DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 for workgroups. 4MB Ram (seems to have been upgraded as Ive found a reciept for 2X16mb modules) 250mb HDD and a 486DX intel proccessor. It had 1mb on board video. I know my mum had a computer before it, but she cant remember it (im guessing a 286). This computer was thrown out a couple of years ago.

    Whats everyone elses first computer?

    P.S. I have a C64 which I found in my Grandmas loft, but it doesnt work, turn it on and a bright purple screen appears instead of the blue command thingy

    My first was a TI-99/4A. Even had the expansion box that gave me a whopping 48KB of RAM and two 5 1/4" single-sided floppy drives! And I probably did more programming on that thing than I have on PCs since...! Even did some assembly programming on it.

    My dad brought home a TRS-80 from work. back in 1983-84 or so. Couldn't really do much on it besides play a game..Westward Ho.
    Although my brother did figure out how to create a program which made it snow on the screen...That was an exciting day...
