What was the first computer you ever used? Mine was an old IBM 286, that thing kicked ass. I had some sweet games on there that helped me spend my time :-)

It was an old commadore-64. I played wheel of fortune on it ;-)

I had a commadore Pc-40 it would STILL work too if it wasn't for the hardwired display adapter built onto the board which suffered an... incident and has since been rendered useless But i still got it in the basement somewhere :P

I don't think i ever experienced as much fun or childlike wonder as the first time I put all 12 mHz and the 2 megs of ram towards playing that bright shiny copy of Civilisation and Battle of Britain... and Kyrandia 1... *sniff* *sniff*...

First computer I ever used was an Apple II. The first one I owned was a VIC-20 (According to WIlliam Shatner, it's the user-friendly computer!). Fabulous 23-character wide screen. Graduated to Commodore-64, then Amiga (man I loved that box).

Can't remember if it was a Commodore Pet or an Apple ][, but it was a school computer.

The first one I owned was a Coleco ADAM in 1984. That computer kicked ass all over Commodore and Apple until the Atari ST, Amiga and MAC came out one year later. That's when I learned to give up keeping up with the Jones's.

Wow...That would be a tie...My father brought home both the Apple IIC and an Apple LISA one day...gave the LISA away a few years later (Stupid! Those are worth bucks now!!!) and used the IIC until my junior year in high school. My first IBM-Compatible was a Packard Hell 486-DX4 100...not too shabby. Used to play Quake on it...musta been like 2 FPS NERO!

I remember back in the day when I had an old commador. hehe i could surf the web at a blazing 2.4k. Boy was that thing fast

An Apple IIc...128KB of RAM and an internal 5.25" floppy...wow. I never did get a 3.5" drive for it...

And neatly enough, even though my dad gave it away when I was six years old, my best friend bought one from a local thrift shop for me as a token memory, and it turns out that it IS the same one I had! COOLNESS! Now to overclock it and tweak it out!!! :-P

Anyone ever seen a liquid-cooled Apple IIc? :-)
