    my first computer was a spectrum 128k damn those tapes.
    why after watching that horrible load screen for 30 mins for a simple game to load did it keep coming up with load errors.
    still i learned basic programming on it so not all bad.

    my first real pc was a 386 16mhz machine. i had to fork out £80 for another 2megs of ram so win 3.11 would work.

    still wolfenstein 3d, doom, prince of persia and all my soccer manager games used to keep me entertained for hours.

    Ahhh, The BBC It brings me back, i remember a game where you'd read just text and have to imagine where you were. These were the days of hi-end graphics I tell you! The first computer I really really played to death was the spectrum then I got an Amiga Commodor 1200, it was the most powerful out at the time and all my friends would come and play it. (most commonly monkey island or lemmings)

    No, that's my own, decent computer.

    WeeMouse's really is crap - it's a battle just keeping ti working at all!!!

    specs:
    VIA Cyrix II 800MHz
    Some crappy Gigabyte micro-atx mobo (can't remember the type just now)
    128MB PC100 SDRAM
    ATA33, 40GB HD
    Integrated Intel Graphics
    Integrated Intel Sound
    Minging bubbly case with 250 watt PSU and no room for expansion
    4x CDRW/DVD combo drive with no buffer underrun protection
    Epson Stylus C20 SX (now broken)

    It also came bundled with Windows ME (I quickly sorted that!).


    It's a complete nightmare - really unstable.

    The first comp I remember getting was a BBC in school they got new ones and gave me the old one!

    I kept it for about a month and got rid of it because it kept crashing.

    Mine was a Tandy. With the HD IN the keyboard lol. It worked on some weird operating system that wasn't quite DOS, neither Windows. It's broken now though. Tandy quit making computers two years after I got it.
