Subject: RE: What was the first computer you owned?The first one I owned, or the first one my family owned while I was alive? In 97 I built my first PC as a sophomore in college cause I wasn't at home, and had an apartment, and laptops suck. The first computer my family had was a Commodore Vic-20. That would be 1980. We probably had the version with 3 kb RAM. It had a tape drive! Back in those days, computer magazines used to have code in them for games, as the Commodore OS was just BASIC. My mom would type them for us to play. When we replaced it with a Commodore 64 in 82-83, we got a 5.25" floppy drive. In 85, we upgraded to an Amiga 1000. My brother and I kept playing the C-64 for a few years. In 88/89, we got a 386 without a math co-processor, and we've been Intel architecture based since. |
