What was your first computer?

Can you still remember what was the very first computer you had? What brand is it and what do you use it for? In my case my very first computer was an IBM desktop. I had it when I was 9 years old. I only use it for playing games because that's all I know back then. But unfortunately that computer was affected by the Y2k bug thing I think because it stopped working in the year 2000. How about you?

Wow, it's great that still have you're first computer at home.
In my part my first computer was already been disposed to garbage due it's oldness. But anyway that was also IBM, I try to repair for that unit that time but it really never booth up the last time. So that was it, now I have new unit which is a very new model, thanks for HP.

Yeah we still have it but it isn't working anymore. I think my mom put it in our storage room. Your new PC looks like a good one! :Smile:

I don't remember the brand of my first computer but I'm sure it had an Intel processor Pentium 3. It's power supply got busted so I had to buy a new one. I remember putting a lot of tweaks into that PC because it was very slow but still it did last for 3 years. :p

I had something that looked like the one in the picture you posted too, but sadly I don't know what brand/model it was as I was really little in knowing such things and had no actual attention to them details to be honest.
Anyway it was pretty much like that and the color was the same too! I mostly used it to play games. i played sega games a lot. My friends used to lend me their game cds and I used to install them and play them hehe my first computer was when I was 8-9 years old too, I guess.

I had my first computer in 2001 and it was just like that computer and it cost over $2,000 dollars. Computers were very expensive back in the day and I've been using it until 2008 it ran on Windows XP and it had tons of viruses. Then, the computer stopped working and I couldn't afford another computer so I had one year wasted of no computer until August 2009. I got so much better computer that ran on Windows Vista, has a 2.7 Ghz Processor and 2GB Ram and it was awesome and I still have it with me right now.
