A Macintosh Classic  Me and my brothers managed to break the computer's mouse by constantly playing Shufflepuck Cafe on it  We were only allowed to play Spelunx on it after that...  |

When I was really young, my father set up a computer running DOS to automatically run a program that made colored letters pop up when you pushed a button. That was for me, of course, to play with.
It was amazing.

Interesting. For a lot of people, it was their fathers that introduced them to the world of computers/got them interested in programming.

The family had an old DOS at one point. My dad would make graphs for me.
After that, there was a Windows 95 thinkpad laptop. I remember making monochrome pixel backgrounds in the background tool; guess I got a start in low-fi art pretty early on, though I'm a programmer now.
My first two machines were identical Inspiron 1000s. Pieces of shit; same parts came loose inside both and both died horribly.

One of those Mac Brick things with the black and white screen and a floppy disk slot and a clicky gray keyboard and MANHOLE.

I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was a dummy terminal (what you typed would be output to the monitor but there was no OS, DOS, or anything of the sort). I was like 4 (maybe 5.
The first computer I had that I could actually do things on had DOS that loaded into one of those file managers. I played the heck out of shareware games. I went through the entire family of Windows OSes (at least starting with 3.1) after that.

Must be the Spectrum ZX81. 1 whopping KB of RAM (if the screen was empty). Was then completely blown away by the C64  Good old times! |

Mine was an Atari XE, not sure the specific model now but all their 8-bit computers/consoles looked the same.  Then I had an Apple IIe and a 386/33Mhz monster was my first real "PC". |

Pentium 100Mhz PC was my first own machine, I feel young  But my dad had all kind of stuff in the late 80's / early 90's, I even have a photo of a one year old me pressing buttons on a Commodore (dunno which one was it) somewhere. |

Mine was ol' good Windows 98. It was golden, I could play anything with it. Until one day, we got new computer and 98 got carried somewhere, and I have never seen her again. How much I loved her.  |
