First Computer You Ever Owned What was the first personal computer tha

Recommended Posts

Wow.......talk about bringing back memories. I remember walking into the store and seeing the first computer. Back in the day they were very expensive. I walked into the store and saw it sitting in a clearance section. It was in a monitor box. I noticed a keyboard cord hanging out of it and asked myself what the heck a monitor would need a keyboard for. As i looked into the box i saw it had the entire system inside it and was $500.00 (cheap for a computer at this time). I immediately grabbed it and ran to the register. I was then told that it wasnt actually going on clearance until the next day and it would be 25% off. I asked if i could just pay for it now to where the worker replied no so i kept persisting. i was told no and she said just wait until tomorrow its just a monitor. So i went in first thing and to my suprise it was still there. I put it on my store card and ran out the door lol. It was a HP 386 with 16MB of memory (4 slots of 2) lol. Now that was a sweet piece of equipment lol.

The first computer that I ever used was a Windows 95 machine at my mom's job. I didn't know much about computers back then, so all I did was play minesweeper the whole day.By the time I actually got my own computer, I knew a lot more, and I was old enough to learn more about computers. I think that my first computer was a Compaq Presario with a 700MHZ (just guessing) AMD K6 (once again, just guessing) processer running Windows 98. It had 128MB of RAM, a 8GB HD, and a 4MB ATI Rage video card.

My first computer was a Compaq with an Intel Pentium 4 Processor. It had about a 55GB harddrive, and when we got it it had 256MB of RAM, and it's about 4 and a half years old. Now I have my own Compaq computer which came with 512MB of RAM (which is now 1.5GB RAM,) a 145 GB harddrive, and an AMD 3000+ Processor. It's a little over 2 years old.
