Do you remember getting your first computer?

[betplom]

I got my first back in 1995 and cannot live without one nowadays.

My first pc was a Pentium 90 with a whopping 8MB of RAM, a 1 mb video card and Windows 95 - and a 33.6k modem, I used "idirect" as my ISP back then, strictly dial up.

Got my 1st REAL PC in 1996.

[eidolon]

I remember playing "Lemonade Stand" at school, back in 1987.

[QB_Disruptor]

Commodore Amiga 500, 1992. Back then 1 MB of ram would set you back $300.

[Matt Rain]

Remember when EGA graphic cards/monitors came out and you traded floppies that contained 16-color porn GIFs that loaded one row of pixels at a time?

eidolonster, I used to play it for hours on end. It was the best during its era.

[sickler]

Mine was an Acer I believe. Pretty much the same specs as yours, Plommer, and bought about the same time.

I didn't even know how to use Windows. Was a total novice.
