What was your first computer

The thread about how much porn you have got me thinking about my first computer and how big of a hard drive it had. I think I said that my first one was an HP, but now that I think about it I remember that my first computer was a Compaq with a 1.5 gig hard drive. My second computer was an HP. I got that first computer in about 1997 or 1998 and a 1.5 gig hard drive was not bad back then. We sure have come a long ways! So what was your first computer, when did you get it, and how big of a hard drive did it have?

20 GB hard drive in an emachines bought at Walmart for like $400.00 back in like 2001.

128MB RAM, and super SLOW!

The first computer I had was the Playconsole of the time.
VIC20 no hard drive, just a cassetteplayer with the programs. 1986
Later VIC64 where the programs where stored on pluggable 56 MB ROM chips.
Still backwards compatible with VIC20 since the cassetteplayer could be connected. 1987
The first one I worked with was a DEC PDP11/04 8 MB memory, expandable to 16 MB. Still no HD and that was back in 1982.
My first real pc at home, came much later. 1998
A Compaq Pressario with an 80 GB drive. I was still using that when I joined the forum in 2005.
It died in 2006. RIP.

Can't remember when, but an Amstrad 1640. 640K of ram, twin 360K floppies. No HDD. I bought it it's first hard drive for £450 - 32MB of pure space!

It were brilliant. And the EGA graphics! Wow!

I just bought a 250GB HDD for £44 - ho hum!

my first computer that was for me alone was an hp with a pentium 2 460, integrated audio and video, 64 megs of ram, and a 10 gig hard drive...that was in 99. also had a zip drive in it, which I haven't seen one of those in years. still have it boxed up somewhere, still runs.

My first was a Vic20 as well. 3 kb ram, expandable to 16 kb. No hard drive, but I did have a tape cassette drive.

The next computer was an Apple IIC with 128 kb ram and a 5.25" floppy drive...you could double-punch the floppies and double your storage space. Rock on.

My first "real" computer with a hard drive was a Macintosh LC with a 40 mb hard drive. It was also the first one where the graphics hardware was powerful enough that porn actually looked like porn.

1983 Apple IIe
64K RAM

I still have it boxed up and play a few games on it once or twice a year.

Ah, good old times.

C64, for the ones who don't know it, Commodore 64.



No HD, only cassetteplayer (called Datasette).

Aside from various computers at work & school, the first one I bought for myself with my own cash was a Pentium II 266, 64 MB ram, 4GB hard drive back around 1999. I eventually upgraded or replaced almost everything except the motherboard, and finally retired it to a dusty basement 4 years ago when I bought a P4 - which, if Santa Claus is really nice to me this year, will soon be joining it!

Haha this brings back the times. I started late with pc's compared with above replies. My first was a 486 dx something with a 600 mb hd, I don't remember the precise specs but it had windows 3.11 and.... a mouse!!!! 2 years later I got myself a pentium I, fast as hell!!! Haha those were the days...

Commodore 64

My first PC was a 386, 33mhz with I think, 12MB of ram and a 10 meg hard drive.

No internet in them days, the only game I had on it was DOOM!

Ah yes, the good old C64, it was fine for school reports and such. Wish I had held onto it.

My first computer was a Timex/Sinclair 1000 with 1k of onboard ram and a wonderful plug-in 16k "memory pack" that had such a shitty connector mechanism that the whole thing would crash at the smallest jiggle of the thing... But I had endless hours of fun back in 1984 programming in Basic, and recording the programs on a Panasonic cassette tape recorder.

But porn didn't quite have the same effect at 60 X 100 pixels (or something like that) in black and white as it does now days and no internet!

And I still have it sitting on a shelf in the closet!
