Re: Your First Computer
Don't remember the model, but the CPU was a blazing 64k with 8k RAM. It took up approximately 4'x6'x6' space and was a server for a bunch of dumb terminals.

Re: Your First Computer
monochrome 286 piece of junk. I used to make graphics in QBASIC and I was so excited because I figured out how to make 4 different shades of orange monochrome.

lol, i had one of these. The tapes and the sound they'd make. I also had the Amstrad and Spectrum.
Video games have come a long way. So simple back then, you'd complete the game in one go, few hours. |

Re: Your First Computer
I think our first family computer was the Commodore 64, though I was too young to ever really use it.
My own personal computer was a Dell, though I don't remember the model number. Lol it was back in the day when all computers used to be off-white  Ahaha I think I paid like $2,500 for it...insane.
