Mine was a dell with windows 98 on it
Commadore 64 with a cassette drive
Just got one of those the other day in a bunch of "old stuff". Came with a disk drive, printer, joysticks, and a bunch of other bits. Must have been someones pride and joy back in the day.Quote:

Apple II gs
mine was an adam.
same here...commodore 64.
A commodore PET, Also had an Epson portable that ran on CPM.
We used Commodore 64s, TI-99/4As and TRS-80s at school. At home I had an Apple ][e that I got the parts that upgraded it to an Apple ][c. For college, I bought the Apple clone - a Laser 128.
There's nothing like the old dot matrix printers. You want italics or bold? Open it up and switch the dip switches. Same thing if you want 10 point or 12 point type.
Trash 80... Um I mean TRS-80..... originally I only had the tape drive and cartridges.... but someone I knew got rid of all their trs-80 stuff and gave it to me when the got a IBM clone... so I had a second computer, a 4 slot cartridge box, disk drive... I kinda miss the computer... had a couple of games I liked.
insane asylum? no pics but you were stuck in a whacko ward trying to get out.
Dungeons of dagaroth.... stick pictures.. same kind of pics as in asteroid....
there was one other one I liked but can't rememeber....
Ok you commedore guys... what was the game where the beggining of the level the "boss" said "destroy him my robots"? Driving me crazy
edit: found it right away with google... was Imposible Mission
Am I the only one that started with a Commodore Vic 20? Cassette of course. Then the 64 with the 1541 floppy drive, followed by the 128.
Too funny, I was just wondering where the Vic20 users were.Quote:

A 486, but I can't remember the brand. I am the youngest of four and when it come to computers growing up I was always on the side of "no, you'll break it", So when I was 16 or 17 my older bro gave me this computer and said "do what you like, and if you end up breaking it, it's okay." I kept it for several years until I messed with some files that I shouldn't had, but it was all good:)
Have one it works just fine! Hehe I'm gonna get this things ram expandedQuote:

packard bell 486 lol
I had a IBM AT thought we were the class of the world :D
Basis 108 Apple II clone. Spent $3,000 and had to drive several hours to Miami to pick it up.
No, I started out with a VIC-20 too. Had an expansion board on the back that would allow you to install more than one cartridge at a time; had a 3KB(!) RAM extension card, and a couple of other cards plugged in all the time. Had the 300baud modem, which I used to connect with a buddy at school; we used to type back and forth to each other on the phone!Quote:

I worked for an entire summer to scrape up the $200 for my next machine, a Commodore 64. Got the 1541 hard drive for it, thought I had the world by the tail!
I have a Vic 20, nice old school computer, I'm getting a Commodore 64 soon, and I have saved a 128 as well, cannot wait to build up my C= collection :)
Commodore 64, without a tape drive, too poor to get that part...do you all remember typing the code for that ping pong game, hehe?
Commodore Vic 20 was rocking the house..
TI-99. I remember reading the TI book and spending hours typing BASIC code to make a block figure dance across the screen for about three seconds. I think it was called Mr. Bojangles. Good stuff!
My first old machine? Vic 20, first computer I used? A windows XP dell
Update: cleaned my Vic and it looks awesome now!
Ps3 for me..my parents had a packard bell growing up...still wondering what they did w it..they say it around somewhere
my first computer was an Apple IIe. The first computer that I bought for myself was an IBM Clone 386
Funny because i just picked up one of these the other day off eBay for $250, heres a wonderful picture of it <3 http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/...ps588811b2.jpgQuote:

on a better note, it convinced me to buy apple stock back in 1996. that was a good idea ;)
^LOL I think that computers today have no soul, Hence why i have a old Commodore 64 on my desk!
I don't even remember, I just know that it had some 'hpg' program which was like a primitive version of Paint!
