ITT: Post your first computer
Pic related: some packard bell with 3.11 back in the mid 90's.
I loved this thing. Despite it being one of the most ill-advised machines Commodore ever made, I learned so much from it.

I grew up playing my older brothers c64, had same tape deck as that but it was beige/cream it was fucking incredible.
>>51596743
Some Performa 63xx/Quadra 605, despite being horribly lobotomized it played reader rabbit which was all I gave a shit about when I was like 1
Then I got a Pentium 90 all to myself a a couple years later, don't even know what I did with it.

I have one of those on a shelf somewhere, the TED chip died in it and I haven't gotten around to replacing it. ;_;

>>51597216
18 actually, my parents got this computer when I was 9.
This old fuck, had a 486 DX-2 75mhz and 32MB memory, could just barely play my copy of Sanic CD.

I remember those. the original "We aren't even trying to pretend this isn't a shitbox" company, before eMachines did it.
anyway the first machines we had in the house were some beige-toaster mac (an LCII? Something?) and a generic 386 running Windows 3.11 that my dad used for work and I used for Skifree and Klotski. This was like... '92 or so?
The first machine I could call my own was a Pentium 2 somewhere around '98 or '99.
>>51597202
I had a similar model.

>>51596743
I had the exact same machine and peripherals. It was the family computer.
Pentium 60mhz, 512mb HDD, 8mb RAM, IIRC. It got some upgrades over the years.
The first machine I had that was MINE was a scratch+dent eMachine with a Celery 500. I still have the mono around somewhere.
>>51596743
Sheeeit nigga, that was my cousin's computer back in the day to the T. We played all kinds of games on it, particularly the ones that came with it (3D Dinosaurs and 3D Body IIRC). Also some Living Books software, our favorite being Ruff's Bone.
I'm 21
My first was an apple 2 my mom gave me. I just remember trying to click on the shit that would fly around the screen when the screensaver would play.
I think it was the screensaver at least
>>51596743
it was an XT clone, 12 mhz with a 40mb hdd. everyone else i knew had a 20mb hdd. i'm sure i never came close to filling it up though, what without internet. i only ever installed games i got on floppies. copies of copies of copies. viruses just did cool shit to your screen then.
>>51596743
Pentium (100?) with 16 MB RAM + S3 video card built at some local store.
I'm not sure if I should have been playing those games but it ran Duke3D and Quake pretty well.
Pentium II 233
64mb of RAM
4gb hard drive
some 3d accelerator, 4mb of VRAM
Windows 95
played MechWarrior 2 and Doom 2 all day.
>>51599360
Same, it was the Pentium that had the floating point division flaw.
Sun elc Dad was a researcher with purdue.
Not my pic.
>>51601308
Yep. Eventually got a Pentium 90 (can't remember where), 2GB HDD, and 16MB RAM before it was retired. Played Heretic, Doom, and a bunch of D&D RPGs. Even played Duke Nukem via modem with a buddy.

The office I started working at when I was 18 had some old HPs that had those same specs. There were 4 or 5 of us young guys there and they made the mistake of giving a couple of us keys. What that meant was Saturday was designated office LAN party day.
>>51596743
one of these but with a yellow screen instead of green.
>>51596743
Same thing, but with 100mhz and Windows 95.
>>51601652
That must not have been an official IBM monitor then, the 5151 was green monochrome and the 5154 was full colour.
>>51599026

IBM PS/2
Still use the same Model M2 keyboard I used as a toddler
>>51596743
>>51598427
That was my second.
I'm pretty sure my first was a generic beige box, possibly a Dell.
>>51599026
Why is there a toaster?
>>51596743
I know my father was installing our first computer when my mom broke water, in 1985. It was a commodore plugged to a black and white tv and i played some winter sports game when i was around 5.

Christ what a piece of shit. It was cheap as hell though, I was just a 15-year-old poorfag back in the summer of 1998. This isn't my pic but I was amazed someone else out there actually bought this turd.
>>51600771
Couldn't have been 100 for Windows 3.1. Likely the 66mhz.
Macintosh Performa 630CD

To this day I regret getting rid of my rig from 2001. It could've been like a time capsule I could revisit
>>51596743
Can't find a picture of it.
Was a PowerSpec from MicroCenter that my uncle got my for Christmas in 2001. Came with the case and everything in it, keyboard, mouse, speakers and monitor.
Single-core 1,8 Ghz, 1GB SD-RAM, 40GB HDD, 64MB VRAM. Have had Comcast ever since then, fuck dial-up.
IBM model 25
Didn't know much about computers at the time but the games were fun. Jill of the jungle, skyroads, commander keen. I was happy.
