I got a Packard Hell (Bell) in 1995 it had 8mb mem and a 420mb hard drive. It looked pretty much like this one.................
What was your first computer?

My first computer was one I got in 2002. It was an HP Pavilion I believe. It had 32 MB of RAM, a 3 GB hard drive, and ran Microsoft Windows 95. Also, a 1 MB graphics card. I used it for games. I believe it had a Pentium (original) processor. A 2x speed CD Drive. I usually had it in 256-color palatalized mode and played SimCity 2000 and the original Pipe Dreams. It was later "upgraded" to Windows 98 SE. I was unable to tell the difference between the two. So, I was 9, almost 10 when I got my first PC of my own, but I remember when I was 4 and Windows 95 was new. This thread is bringing some serious nostalgia.
When I was 4 I was obsessed with MS Paint and SimCity (original for SNES).

Our first "IBM PC" was a PC/XT turbo clone from a local mom-n-pop shop (prior to that we had an Apple //e with only a monochrome monitor and a floppy drive).
4.77/8 MHz, 20 MB hard drive, CGA monitor, MS-DOS 3.something.
Boy, was I in awe ... it opened up a whole new world for me! Color! Subdirectories! Function keys! Bulletin boards! Structured QuickBASIC programming!

Isn't that the one, you could turn around if you forgot your eraser ?
I still remember hacking in pages over pages in hex code. Even take a program written for a different model and adapt it.

My first "PC" was a Commodore VIC 20. I used it for games and on line with "Qlink" (which later morphed to AOL). My screen name on Qlink was "fireberd" the same as I use today.
