What was your first home computer?
 

Commodore Vic-20 here...anyone?

Tandy 1000

Commodore 64 ...

Yes, I had the Commodore Vic-20 with tape drive

awesomeness

Same here.

Still have it. Then the 1541 drive came out, remember, it's like two feet long and weight about 30lbs, LOL

Vic20 then c64. Never liked the Sinclair zx spectrum

p233 w/ mmx and 32 mb ram and a 1 gb hd...

With a tape drive. :)

Zenith Eazy PC, still have it :thumbsup

Christ, my first computer was a Tandy thing that was really nothing more than a large keyboard hooked up to a TV with a tape recorder to store stuff. You would boot it up and it went straight into basic....

same here!

386 pc :)

Yeah, I had that joke as well. With the cassette tape, or 8 track drive. However, I consider my IBM I had gotten around '84-85 my first true computer.

Talent MSX

Packard Bell 386 23mhz

Goldstar MSX and then the C-16 Commodore

Vic 20 here too, then Atari 520

c64, than upgraded to the c128 ;-)

me too... Good times! Lol

1. Sinclair ZX Spectrum
2. Atari800 XL
3.C16
4.C64
5.C128
6.Amiga500
7.386

and so on :)

I changed my C64 for an IBM PS/1, 386 16Mhz, 4MB RAM and a 40mb HD in 1991!

An old 486 Packard Bell

First...
 

Timex Sinclair 1000...then I got upgraded to a Vic-20 and I was rocking my cassette drive with peek and poke commands...who knew those would be even funnier now.

:winkwink:

a packard bell.

I had some Atari Computer with a cassette input device and then jumped to a Comadore 128

I cannot remember!

Word up brother. Loved waiting for 25 minutes as software loaded from that fucking tape. Only nice thing was that the OS was on rom so it had zero boot time. of course if you wanted a graphical interface you had to wait a fucking hour for Geodesk to load. LOL.

Also, remember the 300 Baud modem...LOL, you would dial in and watch the screen load character by character. Man, what a monumental waste of time...waiting five minutes for a 200X200 16 color gif of a naked lady!

Mine was either the zx spectrum 48k or the comadore vic 20. I cant remember which one I had first I also had an amstrad piece of shit thingy then I had an amiga 500 and 1200 then went to a pc..those were the days

Oh and can also remember playing stick and ball tennis on an old atari that used to plug into the TV which one of my friends had..God I wanted one of them so badly in the day..lol

radio shack colorco

Don't remember what it was exactly but my dad had to put it together from a kit.

Same here... can you believe who promoted it?

Tandy 2500 for me.... although I've had other computers that required the cassettes.

atari 400/800

My parents both worked for IBM....so it was whatever their first home computer was. I was in 5th grade...year was 1984

Trs 80 Model III started with a tape drive and upgraded to dual 5 1/4" drives hehe late 79 early 1980. :thumbsup

p166 16mb ram 2gig hd

I was a late bloomer:

Pentium 120
16 MB Ram
4 GB hard drive
15' "Monsoon" "flat" monitor
Soundblaster 32
Windows 95 / Dos 4.0

That was in 1996 and I paid for one half of it.

Duke Nukem 3D and NHL 97 were on the most the first year.

Loved that machine, had it till 2002.

I am even considering to buy me a really old machine with windows 95 / DOS so I could play some of the old school games again.

These kids these days just dunno how good they have it...

i had used vic 20, c 64 and atari 400 before that friends of me had. my first own computer was a C 128 with 1571 Floppy and 1084 color monitor. insanely expensive as far as i remember

I loved the psychedelic colours/bars that used to flash on the screen as a game loaded on the c64.
10 print "game loading wait 30 mins"
20 print "the fucking game failed to load - load error my arrrrrrrrrrrrse"; <-- damn important semicolon ;)
30 goto 20

comodore 64... then my stylish gaming stove.. I mean Atari ... and then a few years later a blazing fast 32 mb RAM 520mb of HDD featuring state of the art productivity system win 95

My first PC was a Compaq Presario 4880 with a 17" CRT. Paid around $2,200 at Best Buy :Oh crap

First computer was a BBC Model B (6502, 32k RAM, floppy disc)

My school ran a network of these and I ended up inheriting about 5 of them when they were replaced with PCs. My wife made me throw them out a few years ago, wasn't even allowed to sell them on ebay!!!!

First PC based computer was a 286-10 with 1MB RAM and a 40MB Seagate HD. Playa.

http://geekgiftsgalore.com/pics/Batt...alactica_1.jpgMy first pc was a techtronics desk top, we used in on my submarine from 1978, it was tape driven, had green vector graphics and used machine code, here's a pic from the first battle star gallactica, they used the same thing
