An oooollld Tandy, don't remember the model, just remember it had some funky drives, one that was built onto the keyboard, and another that was a tape deck. Then came the C64 my first true gaming computer :D

Hard to say, really. My dad was a huge computer guy, still is, and he did it as an on-the-side business for a while, so my parts were ever changing. I'll ask, though.

Yup.......my dad was also a computer guy before there were computers :D I believe the name of it was a Dynisty Sourcer (sp?)

only thing that I remember about it was that it used a tape recorder inorder to load programs and programed in basic haha........had to have been sometime in the early 80's

I couldnt tell you the specs, but it was an Tandy computer from Radioshack... (I was like 8) Seccond computer was a Pentium 1 200mhz, 32mb ram, 2 gb hard drive, 4 mb diamond video.... I think it cost like 2k too :X
 
My first comp was a AMd K6 500Mhz 64MB RAM and a 10GB HDD. Oddly enough, about 5 months of usage, I ended up upgrading it to a Duron during the summer.

My computer looks like a supercomputer compared to everyone else's.

LOL
 
First com i ever got was back in 1995, a 486 that my dad's company didnt need anymore. I hardly used it and it was collecting dust for a while until they bought me a new Pentium 133MHz with a 2GB hard disk. Pretty cool at the time and that got me started gaming with some old crappy shareware games...
 
P1 133mhz / 16mb pc100 / onboard video / onboard audio / 33.6bps modem/ windows 95

Computer rocked when I got it. Now I'm like damn, how was I able to handle all that waiting?
 
Apple Mac thing with a 5 1/2" floppy drive!
you could type on it, that was it!

Then i got a 386 25MHz 4Mb Video, Win 3.11, Aztech Sound, 40MB Hard Drive and a 2x CDROM!!

That thing was the buisness!
