What was your first computer?
-
My first computer was a Fujitsu-Siemens 400 Mhz speed With Windows 98 on board. It was all right but I found Ubuntu 7.04 and I started a new adventure.Quite interesting indeed. I wish you all all the best in the P.C. world.

Mention of the TI-57 reminds me… Hands up all those with programmable calculators who wrote moon landing programs!
For all those who have never seen one of these, you were in charge of a lander which was plummeting moonwards.
I'll never understand anyway, how they have made it in 1969 with this technology to the moon! :S :lol:

Fascinating topic! Some of you have mentioned machines that existed before I was born (1968)! I was in my early twenties before buying/owning my first machine. If I remember correctly, it was built around 486/66 SLC2, an IBM chip and coupled with a Cirix math coprocessor, I believe. Wanna say it had 16kb of ram and a 210mb HDD. At the time, it did everything I needed, so I was happy!
That one and my next, a system sporting a 300mhz Cirix CPU, were the first two and only two prebuilt boxes I've ever owned. Cracking open the latter one several mouths after buying it to install a new sound card and seeing first hand what my money had actually purchased, made me vow to never again be victimized like that again! I've enjoyed building each machine since, saving a considerable amount of money over the years, and getting at least six years (personally or someone else) of relatively trouble free computing from each…

My first computer was built in September 2000 and featured old mainboard with CPU i486 at 33 MHz, as far as I remember, HDD WDC 2340 with capacity 324 MB, 3.5" floppy disk drive, maybe 8 MB RAM, low-VRAM VGA, 13" monitor. It was running Windows 95 OSR2. Not in much time its CPU was upgraded to DX2 66 MHz and maybe 16 MB RAM ^^

The first computer I owned was a Rockwell AIM65.
I used it to develop assembler programs to burn into EPROMS to make dedicated devices based on the SYM1.
These single-board computers were based on the 6502 chip.
This all pre-dated the PC.
Before that I wrote FORTRAN for the IBM 1620 and machine code for the Ferranti Sirius.
Heady times. -
While Apple II supposedly was the micromachine to have, financially it was way out of my league. So it was an Exidy Sorcerer instead, allegedly "a coveted collector's item". Now they tell me…

My first computer was a Kaypro II with 2 floppy disk drives, Zilog Z-80 processor running CP/M. I still have it down in the basement somewhere.

My first computer was an Ohio Scientific Superboard which I bought in 1979. It came with a whopping 4k of ram. I upgraded to 8k for $80 in 1979.

I had moonlander going on an HP-25. It worked only in one dimension, up and down. I found that if I fired a negative burst of fuel followed by a positive burst I could land in two steps.

My first computer was the Comadore 16, I hate to say how much time I spent loading games with my little RCA tape recorder.

I had an early 90's Wang laptop that was given to me by my cousin who had upgraded to an actual IBM-PC laptop. I wish I could remember which model it was exactly, but it came with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.
