What was your first computer?

Mine: Atari 800 :)

Sinclair ZX80
Atari 800
Mac SE/30
Mac Centris 610
various iMacs and Powerbooks

Apple II
Radio Shack TRS-80
Commodore 64
80286 16MHZ 256kRAM

Now 5PC's, 2 Servers, 2 Laptops
:D

mine was Commodore 64, it was my brothers then he gave it to me. lol I remember playing some really fun games with it :D

Texas Instruments Calculator.

XPS Gen 2 m170 laptop... Everything before this wasn't a computer, just practice.

Zenith Data Systems Z-120 Dual 8086's clocked @ 5MHz, 12MB hard drive, 640K, RGB color!
eat that monochrome boyz :D

Tandy 1000 series :)

I had a 3.5" and no HD. DeskMate rocked! .-)

The person I'm quoting really needs to ship me one of those...

Doh wrong thread!

I told you I left it to you in my will..... Opps shouldn't of said that should I...

Apple II (in 1980).

Then a BBC B in 1982 and a BBC Master in 1983.

Amstrad CPC464

it's long ......

I forget, some no-name brand 386 with Doom on it. ;)

Comodore 64, or some crappy Viglen, i cant remember :P

Hey I'm only 17 :P

I don't know the name of it or anything, I just remember the coolest program ever that it had on it where you could create your own dinosaurs and then print a picture of it with this really cheap printer I had. It was probably around 8-9 years ago....Yeah I'm 17 too. No need for the young jokes CORRIE.

Abacus :glasses:

My primary computer line: 386/16 > 486/25 > Pentium/200 (still have the parts) > Pentium III/933 (still in use in the house) > Pentium 4/2.6 (current, has caught fire yet keeps ticking)

I project the next computer I buy (and build) will be around $2000 because I'll spend around $500 on a dual-core AMD processor (their dual-core architecture is so much better than Intel's because of the dedicated intercore bus instead of relying on the FSB) and $800 on two video cards for SLI/CrossFire. I'd also probably get 4 GB of RAM just to start.

First computer? hmmm

[high]* peterska2 thinks hard
[/high]

ah ha!

That would be an Atari 2600,

then theirs been:

• a comondore 64,
• an Atari 520 ST (did all my school work and coursework on that which was fun as some of it needed columns and stuff and you had to define them manually for practially each line as you went along),
• some crap from Time running a P2 (win 95),
• another one from Time running a P3 (win 98) (this one blew up),
• a build it yourself jobby running win 2k with an AMD Athlon XP,
• a temporary lappy (Advent something or other, P4 processor, win xp),
• my new shiny PC I got yesterday Which is a compaq 1905 with an AMD Processor (I don't like Intels).

Planned new PC for Autumn 2006/Spring 2007

AMD dual-core
1.2TB HDD
4GB RAM
?400 worth of sound
?400 worh of graphics
32" TFT monitor
All software as professional versions (Can't be doing with home editions, they are usless)

Price = approx ?3k



Thinking about it, I first got interested in programming back at the ripe old ae of 12 on the Atari ST (520 not 1024) and used a programme called BASIC to write silly little scripts that did boxes and made beeps when you clicked things. Gosh that's a long time ago!

Some really old apple...

Packard Bell...

Uh, let's see.
16mb memory
133 mhz processor
1gb hard drive..

Yeah, I had that thing up until about five years ago. I started doing websites on it.. haha. What a pain.

I got socks older then you.....

I really liked the Atari 520 ST. I still have my old Atari 800,800xl (with about 500 floppies, tape drive, printer, 1400 modem, and two floppy drives) and my 2600 (joysticks are broken :( )with 100 cartridge games. Yeah, I'm a packrat... :rolleyes:

I had an Adam computer too in the late 80's, that thing was cool! I used to play space ace on it... LOL

I have lint in my belly button older then you.... :D

Amstrad
Comodore 64
Amiga 500
386 sx xx :D

1st - Apple LCII - Died
2nd - Packard Bell 486 (75Mhz - 8MB RAM - 500MBish HD) - Died
3rd - HP (Pentium III 800Mhz - 256MB RAM - 30GB HD) - Still Works
4th - Apple iBook G3 (800Mhz - 1GB RAM) - eBay'd
5th - Dell Inspiron B120 Laptop (Pentium M 1.4Ghz - 1GB RAM - 100GB HD) - Design Computer
6th - Dell Optiplex GX270 (Pentium 4 @ 2.8w/HT - 1GB RAM - 80GB HD - 128MB GeForce 5200) - Home Studio/Gaming Computer

I'm looking to get a new laptop later this Spring, but I'm not sure what I want yet. Part of me wants another Dell, but one of the higher end ones this time around. The other part of me wants a MacBook Pro. Gonna have to think on it a bit longer I guess.

Tandy 1000 with deskmate as well, http://abandonware.universal.av7.net..._Joe.1984.html was an awsome game :) now time to find the one that will run on windows lol

Commodore 64 :)

Vic20 where I wrote my first game when I was eight! (I had no tape drive and only one cart for it!) Had no choice but to learn how to program :)

Bolton Uni are giving better grants than I got ;) Although I live in Bolton so couldnt scam any extra for 'living expenses' ;)

In the end I didn't get it. I got a few different ones instead and just did up one of the older shells I have knocking around.

Grandstand Ping Pong..

Does atari really count :)

I have no idea what it was - my dad had just finished going to school for programming and his job gave him one to use at home .. considering Reagan had not been shot yet - I think it was IBM's first PC.

Tandy 1000hx

With a Low Density 3.5 drive, Tandy graphics, and a massive 256K of memory...upgradable to 512 for $200


I miss that PC :)

Radio Shacks Tandy 1000

D.A.I.

(now try to find info on that one :D hope i remembered the name correct)

:p

Probably a Commodore 64, but I didn't own it myself.
My dad always wanted the "newest" stuff, so he bought one back then.
I remember watching my sister playing the "Agent USA" game on it, which looked extremely funny.
I don't think I ever used it myself though.

Lol, now that bring back old memories.

one of these bad boys.:o

I honestly can't remember what my first computer was - The first one I actually remember using was an old RM computer, which was a 286 :D

But I was aware that I had a computer before that, which my mum used to draw mr men characters on for me then print them out for me :D
