What was your first computer?

I Remember the day my grandma bring me what was the beginning of one of my biggest passions: she gave me an IBM Pentium II Slim Tower with 64Mb Ram and 10GB HD, came with Win95. There was a nice "turbo" button on it haha. I was 7 y old and still remember the first time i looked at paint and after a few hours i asked myself: "god damn how they do that?"

How about you, what was your first computer? :)

The fantastic Commodore 64...

make sure you flag the disk drive run command with ,7,9 or get the dreaded 'press play on tape'!

BBC Micro. I got to play Elite or watch my Dad program sprites that danced about on the screen.

It was an HP something lol. Distinctly remember it having a 4GB HD. Maybe a 333Mhz processor? This was in 97/98. Mom even got the extra phoneline for dial up.

Macintosh 128K, was my father's computer but it was my first experience with one. Funny thing, at that time my father would warn me that "I could break or damage the computer", nowadays he's the one calling me to fix theirs.
