[brenda]

Mine was a ZX81 :01:

[Darth Sushi]

Commodore 64....actually, I was given a Vic-20 but I bought the C64.

[Samurai]

Commodore 64 too :01: That computer was the shit. I still have the games.

Mind you I still have one of the old computers that played that game of 'tennis' with 2 lines on either side :lol:

[SingaBoiy]

It was a hand-me-down :P

Its still sittin in my room too.

Intel P3 667
128 MB ram (upgraded to 256 later)
crap, upon crap, upon crap

Check out this old post about my first computer: http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showpost.php?p=7944&postcount=20

[TheDave]

a spectrum, zx i think :blink:
i only think it was a zx cos you always hear people say zx spectrum. it had a seperate tape-deck anyway

first pc: pentium 133mhz, 16mb ram, 1gb hard-disc, windows 95.

we thought pc's just couldn't get better when it OC'd to 166 and we got 32mb ram, which in those days cost an arm and a leg

[Snee]

I think I actually might have had an amiga 600hd first, and then a C64.

I shared the Amiga tho', and I still have that in my closet, tho' I can't get it to work.

[lynx]

I had access to plenty of computers at work, and I could play games on them etc, so I didn't bother to get my own until PCs were worth having and were affordable.

My first PC was a 16MHz 386 with 8MB ram I think. It had a 40MB hdd, but that soon became full. Hard drive sizes were fixed on that pc so I had to modify the bios myself to make it accept a 320MB drive.

Actually, there was a motherboard fault which didn't affect what I wanted the pc for so I got the base unit free (they would have been scrapped otherwise) as long as I paid for the monitor and keyboard. I bought the cheapest monitor I could, a 14" single resolution job, but somehow a 15" multi-resolution monitor arrived at my house. I can't understand how that happened, I never made mistakes in the stock room. :whistling

[clocker]

eMachines with an AMD2200 AthlonXP, 512mb ram, 100Gb HDD, CD-RW and DVD-ROM, XP Home.

Ah, the good old days.

[Mr. Mulder]

Mine was a C64 :01: I had International Truck Drivers and pwnd on it too :01:

[nsane]

500MB HDD
13" viewable monitor (had to use some 'Force Color' program to get even 256 colors) :(
Windows 3.1.1

don't remember if it had a gfx card or not :unsure:

[ahctlucabbuS]

AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz 128mbit sdram, GF2MX, Win ME.

I'm infact using the same old case so you can imagine the noise, everything else is upgraded. This is about to be rectified soon though :01:

[clocker]

I know...it's unbelievable.
Why, I can even remember when the FastTrack network used to work.

Memories, memories.


Jeez, I feel ancient.


Oh...wait a minute.
I AM ancient.

Oooh a timeline, I can do that too.

There are more 'puters I mess around with in this building and elsewhere, but the ones on the list are the ones I've used or am using regularily. I've picked most them apart quite a few times too.

[bigdawgfoxx]

First one I ever used was like a 66mhz p1 and 8mb ram...then 566mhz celeron with 320mb of ram now 3200xp with 512mb dual channel....much better

Minimum requirements for Windows 95 was a 386DX CPU. I don't think they were available as slow as 8 MHz.

[Skiz]

right. the 286 was 8mhz. dunno if it'd be possible to install Win95 on that, but if you could then it'd prolly be painfully slow.

[RPerry]

TRS-80 :blushing:

well before the commodore, not even a floppy, had a tape deck instead, I did get an Atari 5800 ( I believe thats what it was, not the game module, it was a pc) and also 2 commodore 64's. I stayed away from pc's for quite a while after that, and broke into it again with a Packard Bell 500mhz :cool:

[Darth Sushi]

TRS-80 :blushing:
Or more affectionately known as the TRASH-80. :)

[twister]

hhmm i was sure it was 8mhz i will boot her up later

[Virtualbody1234]

Was it a 386, 486 or something else?

[RPerry]

hey... it worked for me. I even wrote some of my own programs. basic was so simple.... :01:

[manker]

Wow. My first computer was the same as VB1234's. I think since he's gotten a bit more into them than me tho'.

The games that you could buy to put into the slot at the top used to cost a fortune, if I remember rightly. I was only allowed one for my Birthday and two for Christmas :dry:

[Smith]

The one im using right now, ive had it for about 7 years. It still plays movies and music, and BF1942 so i dont care :D

But if consoles count it would be the original Playstation, back when roadrash was a cool game :ph34r:

[Chewie]

you still have the c64?
:) nah, sorry mate. I sold that to a brother-in-law to finance the A500 LOL.

[Chewie]

In that case I should have to say my first was an "8 (yes! count them... 8!) game TV entertainment system". Pong, in other words.

Strong little mother that was, and still works :01:

[Shiranai_Baka]

Mine was a 100Mhz packard bell with 1.46 gb HD, 16mb ram, and forgot what vid card it was.

[h121589]

My First Computer was a GateWay.....

[Samurai]

A500. My dad had that too. Easy to copy games on as well :)

[KLiteAddict]

my first was a 66mhz machine, with i think 16 or 32 megs of ram...slow as hell, now i have an emachines 633mhz pc..

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

I think my first was a texas instruments TI-99 (i think it was a TI-99 cuz i cant seem to find it on the net to refresh my memory, but it was texas instrument cuz i still have the cassette recorder). It had an external tape drive, which was basically a cassette recorder, and when saving to tape, it sounded like a fax machine for about half an hour, lol. and if the tapes werent very good, then it didnt work. had one of those modems that you set the phone in (i never used it tho, cuz i dont think you really could back then, beats me) :)

*edit* I found it on the net and it was definitly the TI-99 heres a link to this thing.oh the memories :) http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/

Mine was probably either an Atari 5200 or the little Texas Instruments Trig calculator I had in 1984 maybe.
