First computer?

[My name is]

What?

came out mid 90s you hooked it up to your tv. It was my first introduction to the internet and porn

 

[90 50]

Commodore 64 baby!

my friend’s dad had a Kaypro something or other and we did some Basic coding on that. Played this game Zork a lot too.

Zork was the bomb yo.

Played a lot of Zork, had done the chose your adventure Zork books before it was out on computer too.


My parents had some different early computers, don’t remeber them all exactly. The “first one”’i remeber using a lot was the old ass Apple everyone had.

We had some dos computers before that.

Had a 386, and me and my dad built a duel processor 486 rig I wish I hadn’t discarded it now about ten years ago. I really wish I still had it to restore and do a OG Doom machine with.

I killed Doom and Quake on that thing for a long ass time.

It stayed working fairly well for a long ass time. I think windows 95 was the newest OS i ever had on it but i could be wrong about that. Man it’s been ages.

I did a thread earlier on your first tape, CD, etc... but do you remember your first computer?

My parents bought me a C64 when I was a kid that was awesome. But, I bought my first computer for myself when I went to grad. school. It was Pentium 386 266 Mhz CPU with something like a 2 GB hard drive, 32 MB of RAM, and a 4 MB video card. I'm pretty sure most of that is correct. I thought I'd never fill the hard drive back then. It also came with VGA, 14" CRT monitor. Cost about $2k too.

The first PC I used was an apple 2E. The first one I built was a Pentium 133 with a 760 mb hdd, 16 mb RAM and a 4 mb GPU. I later added a zip drive.

I think my watch is a more powerful computer than it by several orders of magnitude.

 

[all caps]

I cant remember the model but it was an NEC in the early 90s. 28.8bps yo!

 

[BitFlip]

My bad... it was a Pentium II. Pretty sure the hard drive was that size though.

Yeah, if it's a Pentium II everything checks out... that was a weird time, felt like clock speeds were increased faster around that time than ever before (...and after, since they can't do it anymore).

 

[Loiosh]

$1,000 used in 1987

The first meg of RAM I bought for my Amiga cost a thousand dollars.

Fat Agnus.

 

[therealdope]

Family bought an XT clone with an 8087 coprocessor (floating point operations in silicon, fuck yeah!).

I had a computer calculator in high school.

Gateway...box looked like a cow

Same!! Then got upgraded to a Sony Vaio. Goddamn dial-up internet, playing Diablo 1&2, Oregon Trail, looking at the Hustler Website, AOL free-trial floppy disk, Napster/Limewire, Garbage ass Windows ‘98-2000 & Media Player.

 

[Bald1]

A Tandy 1000 something or other. The only thing I recollect about it is playing Leisure Suite Larry on it.

 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

Apple Macintosh LC. It had a whopping 20 MEGABYTE Hard Drive.

 

[aerius]

First computer we had in our home was a 486 DX50 with 8MB of RAM and I think it was a 240MB hard drive. This was mostly my dad's computer that he used for CAD work but I got to use it for word processing and other school related work, and ended up becoming my computer when he got a new one for his work.

I honestly don't remember the specs. I just remember the brand name "Laser" etched in the lower corner. Played games like Auto-Duel, Lode Runner and a mass of other pixels on top of black screen games.

That was technically the first but our next actual computer didn't come till some time later, around 94 or so. I remember DOS and installing our games into the pathways and then executing the games through manual typing commands. Oh, man how times have changed.

Exec/xcom.exe

 

[Plutoburn]

I think the first PC I've had at home was a 486 that runs dos 4.0 I remember playing games such as Prince of Persia and Prehistorik.

Most of all, I remember playing around with autoexec.bat because some games require high count of system memory.

Funny, was thinking about this last month. My family is pretty lower middle class and we always had computers, first my stepdad had an Apple 2E which was basically a glorified word processor plus Oregon Trail. (I died of diptheria!) Later we had a real desktop Apple with 14.4 modem access. I remember trying to load porn sites in the mid-90s at that 14.4 speed. It looks like a boob it looks like a boob.....

 

[Helixcarbon]

This but it barely counts as a computer although it was and it predates the commodore 64 of the TS.

Yes ma man. Chucky egg needs a reboot.

 

[John Mabrey]

Some windows 95 that was custom built
