Your First Computer!

[Triadcool]

You must be joking about our power supply. You must be outdated, the new power supplies uses 5x less power since 1980. You must be 9 years outdated. Also, the power supplies by turning on it's "old mode" and have the capability to run 10 of your outdated servers.

HAHA! Yea right. With that power supply I would barely be able to run my 100 Watt lightbulb. HAHA

I made a typo. It's 1,000 not 100.

First Printer: Light generated ink (requires 7 solar panels) at speeds up to 1 light year/sec

You do realize that defies the laws of physics ?

I vaguely remember a laptop from the late eighties/early nineties - DOS (can't remember which version , but it didn't have mouse support) , B&W screen , basic text editor , Prince of Persia. I'll see if we still have it in the attic - bet that ol' geezer still works

First "real" PC : Dos 3.11 , 80 MHz (I think) , and - ooh - a printer ! (family comp)
My first PC : nx9010 (just 6 months ago)

Packard Bell PS/2

A gift from my mother. Of course the motherboard in that burnt-out during an ice storm, along with a slew of other household electronics. From the insurance settlement (laced with a wee-bit o' exageration), I was able to upgrade to my current set-up. B)
