What was your first computer? When and how much did it cost?

My first experience with a PC was in 95 when my parents bought the first computer for my brother. It was a Gateway 2000 PC with I think a Pentium processor. IIRC, adjusted for inflation it cost around €3000. It came with a bunch of CD games including Tomb Raider II and also a National Geographic CD boxset which I still have to this day.

 

The first one was Didaktik M / ZX Spectrum:


I've always wanted Amiga, but never got one

Later we bought our first PC, which was 386SX 16 and 486DX2 66 after that.

 

Ohh I went through the ZX Spectrum, Didaktik M(Slovak clone of ZX Spectrum),Commodore C64 and few ATARI 800 and Amigas as well

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

 

Owned as well Didaktik M hahaha, still have one home, few Slovakian and Czech developers made great games that time, good old times, miss them

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

 

Truth to be told, I realize that we are a bunch of young at heart dudes, but with white hair and old habits. A very nice way of saying old farts.

 

Ditto me 2 and same PC setup.

 

and that was just the loading times!

 

Hey! Some white hair, but who's counting!?

 

Those are some deep roots.

 

Very nice.

 

My very first computer was Radio Shack TRS80 Model I in 1978 (I think). I had a few Tandy Color Computers, C64, Atari 1200, Tandy 1000, a few PC compatible computers, a few notebooks, and now I have one desktop and two notebooks.

 

First PC that I personally owned was in 1999. A Gateway with a P3 450mhz, 128mb, Voodoo3 3000, and a 13gb hard drive. That's when I said goodbye to consoles forever.

 

My dad had a 286 that he got from work back in the day and the first computer i bought for myself was a 486 with a 2MB ATI Mach64 card sometime in '94-95.
