Title: What was your first computer like?
Post by: Tupin on November 04, 2011, 11:38:47 PM
The first computer I used was a Windows 95 that had a 4.1GB hard drive, 32MB of RAM, was around 200MHz(I believe) and a CD-ROM drive. It was really expensive when my family bought it...

What about you?

Packard Bell with Windows 3.1, bro. It was old, ugly, and had fantastic games.

Earliest I can remember was an old eMachines. 466Mhz processor, 64MB RAM, 8GB (partially corrupted) hard drive...Win98SE.
I know we had an older one before that one with Win95, but I don't remember anything else. May have even been 3.1, don't remember.

it was some poopty emachine that my uncle handed down to my family after he got some new computer. It was poop but it got the job done. I can't remember the specs but they were probably terrible anyway.

I remember playing the first mechassault and Doom on it. Later we got a different emachine that I played Quake III Online on. Good times.

It was like an Apple II.  I don't know why we had it, but you could hook up a phone line to it and dial into the library to go online.  We just dicked around with it a lot.

Next was some old piece of poop running Windows 3.1.  It may have been crappy, but I used to play the poop out of Conflict (this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict:_Middle_East_Political_Simulator)) on it.

Some kind of Zeos with an Intel 486 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_80486) in it. Ran Windows 3.1.

I'm still on my first computer, unless you mean my first family computer.
The computer I'm using I bought between 7th and 8th grade.

It's been upgraded a few times since then, obv.

If we're talking non-family computers, it's the laptop I'm currently on that I got about a year and a half ago.

For a while I was convinced Netscape was the superior browser.

And now you've been convinced that Opera is the best.

That's actually a pretty awesome machine, even if the screen is a bit small.
