It was the last Apple product I cared much for.

What was your first computer

Mine was a Commodor 64 (cos it had a real size keyboard unlike the Sinclair Spectrum).

But my first real computer, cant remember the make, but the basic specs were (having to remember a long way back now) 4mb of ram, 270mb hard disk, I think the processor was something like 80386 @ 164mh or thereabouts. It had a 14" colour monitor, ran windows 3.1 and even had a 4 speed CD rom. It came with Encarta 95 and cost me the sum of £1,200 ( a heluva lot of money back then).

It was in the early-mid 80s and I think it was a Dell. . . I can't even remember!

If you had one of the very early Dells (actually called PCs Unlimited) that Michael Dell assembled in his dorm room, it would probably be worth something to a collector today.

Commodore 64 and 128

My first computers (Had them handed down roughly the same time)

The Commordore 64 (Yes i even had the monitor)



And i even had a Commodore 128




I had loads of games, books, accessories and anything that was 64 worked on the 128 and visa versa.

Vintage computing, you gotta love it.

It was some "buiild your own" thing that a place had built. This was back in the mid 90's.
Windows 3.1
2GB HD
Pentium 100
If I remember right, it had a 4mb vid card, some big sound card, and not sure how much ram.

It wasn't that early, unfortunately. But anyway, it ended up in the trash where nobody's gonna make any money off of it. . .

My dad bought one of those computer/type writers. $30,000 for a keyboard, 5" screen and a printer that would take 10 minutes to print a few sentences. Our first Home Computer was a old dell with windows 1995 - and it is still running as good as a 1995 computer can run! We upgraded that to a XP computer in 2001 and we are actually still using it for old games that cant run in 7.

Worked for TI Austin 1977 for a few months debugging a huge computer system being sold to England. Discovered I could not work inside a building with no contact to the sun. Bought my first computer in '78, Tandy TR 80 full package dot matrix printer and all for little over a grand. Got hooked for ever.

Back in the late 70 or early 80 Ford Motor Co. was selling computers to their plant employees with a school. I couldn't go to the school because of the I.D. you had to show. He was tall and black and I'm short and white, they would of noticed; but it got me hooked.
