Do you remember what your first computer was. I remember which computer was my first. It was a commodore 64. Thinking about it now that was a long time ago.

Yep a commadore. I used to stay on that thing for hours! I don't think I would have the patience anymore though....way to slow! [karishaf]
yep and the only way to get software to use was to get the magazine and type it in or buy the cartridge [mirage108]
That was my first computer too the Commodore 64. You had to type commands for it to work and couldn't do much with it, lol wow how technology has advanced since those days! [rachelynn]
yes it has changed and for the better [mirage108]
Mine was also a Commodore 64. [zeeterman]
That was a good a durable computer. I even typed in the progams from a magazine including a word processing a program [mirage108]
My parents bought a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack when I was a kid. [darceny]
I had a frind who had one of those. it was a pretty good computer also [mirage108]

Hi My first computer was a Compaq Laptop. Cheers, [geographyguy]
nice machine but when I started it was the comodore or a TRS80 or other type of machine. laptops as we know them were not even thought of then [mirage108]
Mine was a C= 64 as well. In fact I still have it :) [joedoe]
Yup, it's fun to play them old games. [joedoe]
it's my sony calculator.... jokez [ipissakusina]
i had a commodore 64 and it was a long time ago and i also had a attartie as well [blondegirl1975]
never had the arari and if you want search google the commodore 64 and you will still see a picture of one [mirage108]
mine was a BBC computer, plugged into the TV, it was really cool, we still have it, apparantly its become collectable now [smuggeridge]
yes that is what the commodore 64 was like you had to plu it into a tv also [mirage108]
Yes I remember it. It was an Apple Macintosh... too many years ago [lucalucky]
never had the apple. [mirage108]
Yes LOL Mine was an Apple IIc handed down by my brother. I can't believe that cost a few thousand dollars back then and it can't do anything! LOL Then I got an AST, my first PC. What a wonderful brand! It was great! Then I got another brand (not so great - crappy, in fact) and now I have a Dell. It's fabulous! [clownfish]
never had a apple and I agreen those older computers cost so much. I am personnaly glad the price came down [mirage108]
I had a Radio Shack mc-10! You could only use it by learning BASIC. It had a cassette tape drive! The printer paper was similar in size and shape to a cash register receipt. I remember the Commodore 64, my neighbor had it and I was soo jealous! It would be twenty years before I got another computer (a Gateway in 2001), my God, how computers have changed! I now have a compaq presario and so far I am very happy with it. [MSV1016]
thanks for the opportunity to wax nostalgic. [MSV1016]
We also had a commodore 64.. it still works... we had loads of games. Space-taxi was favorite. It was like 10-14 years ago I think :) [Thewishlady]
The one I had was 20 years ago. [mirage108]
It was a refurbished Compaq 486 that I bought at a flea market.It was running Windows 95 and I really didn't know what I was doing.It lasted like 6 months before I totally fried it. [vhansen]
I think it was a compaq but im not actually sure [magdollars23]
I can never forget my first computer. It was the mostly important possession I had. It was a 486. I used it like it was gold. [vhmehta]
emm...it was a long time ago, my first computer was pentium 100. yet i bought it as second hand from somebody. compare with my pc now...really can't imagine how's the speed.. [gscs1838]
i can tell u no one can forget his first computer, because it is very costly (i had an assembled one the configuration was 2.1 gb HDD, 16 MB ram, 14" monitor, PixcelView T.V. tuner card, with multimedia WITH P1 PROCESSOR 166 Mhz mmx TECHNOLOGY ) IT costs 85k Rupees then ... now i can get Sony Viao laptop in such amount, but it was fun having such thing in 90's era ... every one comes to see my pc ... and it helped me to earn for next 3 more pc and a laptop (i still have it ... not working on it but it is in working condition) [dholey]
The first comp I remember using was something called Commodore 64. It was hooked upto the TV instead of a monitor. Remember playing games like River Raid, Donkey Kong on it and using stuff like Printshop, printmaster etc. Pretty cute thing! [pitstop]
i know what you mean I had one myself. thank you for responding. [mirage108]
When I was fresh in college, I was getting a degree in computer science which later on shifted to Information Technology. That was a long time ago, eight or almost there now. I'm used to go to cafés before that to go online but my sister bought me one. it lasted for long, until I graduated actually. [thaMARKER]
mmmm ok that doesn't say what you first computer was [mirage108]
