Your first computer?

[dendawg]

My first computer was a Compaq Persario 9234. I remember it having Windows 95, Intel Pentium Processer at 133 Mhz, 1.50 GB of disk space, and 16 GB of RAM. Amazingly enough, it lasted for over 10 years, and was still running when we donated it since we had a newer computer at the time and didn't need it anymore.

Are you sure you don't mean 16 MB? 16 GB is a pretty uncommon amount to have on even today's home pc's.

16GB of RAM huh, seems a tad a head of it's time considering the RAM outweighs the Physical Disk Space, wish my laptop had 16GB of RAM . Of course, I'm kidding.

My first computer, which actually was my family's first computer (we all shared it), was a desktop that had a big, bulky screen. We got around 2003 and we had dial up. It was the slowest computer we had ever had, it was still useful though, as long as we didn't mind waiting. I love my laptop I have now, it is so much better to have high speed internet rather than dial up.

Wait, if you're talking toy computers now, I had this, the Computron.

It was a pretty extravagant toy for 1986 and my aunt and uncle got it for me for Christmas. It played some simple math and spelling games on a red LCD screen and took six C batteries and did not connect to a TV. I still thought it was awesome, but my little brother broke it later on Christmas eve by pushing the keys on its membrane keyboard with the point of an ink pen, for, some reason. It seemed like it took Sears forever to fix it. There was a talking version you can see in the ad, too, which I remember playing with but am fuzzy on whether I got it the next year for Christmas or my friends did.

We had the smaller version that was in the same pic (the Talking Computron). It still works to this day despite losing the AC adapter to it. I still remember the computerized voice that spouted out phrases like "Please choose an activity" or "How do you spell ____ ?".

Oh, gosh. My family's first computer was way back in the late 80s/early 90s. I just remember that it was big and bulky, and it took my dad what felt like hours to set it up. I played a Sesame Street game on it, but I have no idea what the name of the game was.
