I swore up and down that I wouldn't get a computer until the technology levelled out. I caved. A 386. Not much of an early adopter. Jeff

The ZX-81. You could load programs to and from cassette tapes using any cassette recorder. And I splurged and got the 16k memory module. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_ZX81

A Commodore C64. Oh yeah. Tricked out with a disk drive and 14" RCA color tv/monitor. Then I had a Kaypro, with 64 k of RAM...same as the C64...using the CP/M operating system. Two floppy drives, monochrome monitor...the works!! I can't remember if it ran on kerosene or coal. Bob

Elorin -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 6:37:06 PM)
A VIC20. It took cassettes and could be plugged into the TV for the monitor. I don't know "specs" on it. We later had a Commodore 64 with both cassette tape and 5 1/4" floppy option. Green monitor...my favorite games were Jumpman and a highly amusing Barbie game. (I was young.)

Hate to admit this but mine was a TRS-180

submgreenbay -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 6:46:03 PM)
I believe my first was a TI99/4A... 3 MHz, 16K RAM. It also used the Data storage cassette system.

The first computer I purchased was a piece of junk...Compaq with Windows ME! [:'(]

dcnovice -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 9:15:18 PM)
The first computer I used was a TRS-80 in high school. The first one I ever owned was a Leading Edge XT clone that was a hand-me-down from a friend.

DomMeinCT -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 9:20:00 PM)
An Apple IIc "portable". It had 128k of RAM and 1 floppy drive. The CPU had a handle which was what made it portable, but the monitor weighed 20 lbs. Bought it through 47th Street Photo in 1986 for grad school.

all4yourplsr -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 9:24:54 PM)
My first computer was a "no name" computer that came with a home based business oppurtunity I got into back in '94(?) I had the computer for 7 years but the home based business was a waste, as I now know they usually are. :-) I now have a HP w/WinXP but it is showing signs of wear but I will wait until Vista is better before I think about getting a new computer. ed

purelea2003 -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 9:25:18 PM)
I had a Leading Edge 8088 with mono monitor. It came with 2 floppy drives & I installed the hard drive myself. I thought it was just the most extraordinary thing!

HydroMaster -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 9:52:19 PM)
I don't really remember. It was in the 80's and it was a custom built mix of brand names parts....It had less power than the calculator I used in high school...with an old dot matrix printer and 5 1/2" floppy drive. But it did have and impressive CGA monitor that was capable of actual graphics...so frogger, and a couple flight sims were on it.

completenz -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 9:54:01 PM)
I started with a decent computer, a Macplus with 7inch monochrome screen, 2 meg ram and a 20 meg exterior harddrive and 700 kb floppy drive. Oh the speed lol. C

ElectraGlide -> RE: What was your first computer? (3/24/2007 11:19:52 PM)
This Dell 2400 I have now. I am a newcomer at this. I waited till I was almost 40 a few years ago, to get into this. I have learned quite alot in a short time. I used a Apple in high school and various computers on jobs, but you could not explore just do the same exact programs over and over to complete a task.
