What was your first PC?
-
First one I used was I believe Windows 95 at my school when I was in elementary. Couldn't tell you what brand but I seem to think IBM.
First one I owned was an HP Pavilion laptop in 2007. Very sentimental when that thing died on me.

My first personal computer: VTech Precomputer Power Pad
I was obsessed with the BASIC coding program on there.

LOL, I vaguely remember those.

I was 6 when I was handed down a C64, bought a 286 out of the tradin post when I was 7 using paper route money. At 8 I had a couple 286's and an Apple IIe handed down to me.
I also bought one of those 1980's portable 386sx units where it was like a metal suitcase and the keyboard folded out of the front to reveal a small green screen and two 5.5" floppy drives. I specifically remember dragging it in to a Frisch's Big Boy while my mom wasnt paying attention and setting it up by a power outlet. lol.

Does a Amiga 500 count? Remember having that then upgrading the RAM and having an external Hard drive in a expansion module thing.
Got me interested in 3D animation when one of the magazines released Imagine for free.....loved it.....wish I got more into it now and tired to make a career in it....oh well I'm enjoying IT infrastructure stuff anywayAfter that a 486 with Windows 95

My first "laptop" was a zenith with "twin" 3.5 floppy drives, yes 3.5, state of teh art. Dad gave it to me for HS graduation.
