| 478322 | 2006-08-14 22:30:00 | I recall having a BBC that ran off floppy disks and had exciting games such as Grannys Garden and Tetris. First decent computer was a 486 MMX with 16MB ram and a 500MB hard drive running Xtree gold and Windows 3.1, which we then upgraded to the *AMAZING* Windows 95. Remember upgrading that box to a Pentium 133 with a 2GB hard drive and 32MB ram. :yuck: |

| 478324 | 2006-08-14 23:37:00 | Amiga 500 without the extra RAM. Gave it away in the end to a friend whose Amiga 500 died. I remember the days of viruses on floppy disks and people with a whole drawer of disks with half corrupt... Joysticks broken due to tow player games of Speedball 2 .. ah the memories. :nerd: |

| 478326 | 2006-08-15 04:01:00 | I recall having a BBC that ran off floppy disks and had exciting games such as Grannys Garden and Tetris. Earliest computers I used were 1st a Sinclair, then a Commodore 64, then a BBC something. And yeah those were the days, especially playing Defender! Went through about 6 Enter keys (the firing button) in as many months! |

| 478327 | 2006-08-15 04:03:00 | My first coding was on Punchcards in my High School computing class in 1977 For Portable computing, I had in 1981 a TRS-80 PC-1 (www.old-computers.com). I then upgraded that to a PB-1000 (www.old-computers.com) which still works today. My first PC portable was a Zenith XT Laptop (www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org). I now use a TC1000 Tablet (en.wikipedia.org) for portable computing, with a T3G card and Wifi. On my desk in 1984, I started with ZX Spectrum+ (www.old-computers.com) then I got Amstrad CPC 664 (www.old-computers.com). I then moved into the PC world with a PC Direct 560si (Pentium 133), which I upgraded 3 years later to a K2-300. I still have a decent TL Systems PC, Athlon XP 1800, DVD/RW and 2x80 GB HDD with a 6600 GT and 19" LCD which more than meets my needs. |

| 478329 | 2006-08-15 05:42:00 | If you don't the computers which I rescued (both origonally ran 95 - only one let me upgrade to 98 :illogical), this Dell Dimension 1100 was the first. Intergrated graphics, 160GB HDD, XP Home etc. etc. :) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 478330 | 2006-08-15 05:42:00 | The first PC I was the only one to use (but not owned) was a P1 133MHz, first PC that I owned is this beast I am running now... built it all myself :D | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 478331 | 2006-08-15 06:00:00 | My first was a Dick Smith VZ200 (yes this was a computer), then onto a Commodore 16 , then Commodore 64, Amiga 500, and finally onto my PC life with a 386 DX40 which I found incredibly painful after owning an Amiga as posted by one or two others. | Battleneter (60) | ||
