What Was Your First Computer?

Started by siriuswriter3 pages

Okay, I was born in '88 so I'd have been first using a computer at four... maybe? We had this awesome game that used the three ducklings that are Donald Duck's nephews... and they would swing through the jungle and jump from platform to platform - it was a very rudimentary "Donkey Kong" kind of set-up. That, and a Sonic the Hedgehog game, which had a spot on world three where you couldn't go past, there was nothing to jump to, no secret passageways or anything. I always was so frustrated when I got there, I had to restart the game.

It had a DOS system, I think the games were on floppy discs? If it were in front of me today I'd have no idea what to do with it, my family graduated to a Windows 64 computer that was a cast-off from a family we were friends with whose dad was an orthodontist - so they were very rich.

My first personal computer was a Dell laptop, that I bought the summer before my freshman year at college. It was an Inspiron... numbers I don't remember. It broke down a few years later, just stopped working entirely which was frustrating because I lost everything.

Well mine was dell in 1999
OS : windows 98
that was the luckiest day of my life when my parents bought it.

I started dos base... operating system

I realized my first cell phone served the same purpose as my firs computer...

To play solitaire!

An Acer. Technically my parents' computer. "My" first is the awesome custom built one I'm staring at right now.

Anyway, **** Acer. Worst goddamn thing ever.

I'll never do anything but build my own from now on. Cheaper for what you're getting, and there's always some annoyance or compromise with pre-built rigs.

I doubt your last statement will be true.

Amiga 500.

my first computer was HP P4. I got a bunch of games for Christmas, I have chosen, such Questprobe Spider-man adventure game, which of course, I tried loading the first day of Christmas, but ... After 5 min and loading out.

What's to doubt? I'll never buy a prebuilt rig again either.
