I, too, had a Commodore 64 with a tape deck, but I had one of those phosphorous monitors or whatever the heck they were called back then. I thought I was Mr. Big Stuff for being able to display colors on the monitor. Those were the days.
This was the first computer that I ever bought with my hard earned money. But I remember something like the Timex Sinclair as my first computer, it's been a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
Mine was a 486 DX 33mhz running Windows 3.1 and DOS that my parents bought me shortly after I started high school. I remember my friends being envious cause most of them has 286 or 386 based PCs at the time.
Ahh the good ol' days when going online meant connecting to a BBS via dial up on a 2400 baud modem
My first was an original Macintosh (128K). For a very short time I felt like a truly special snowflake considering we only had TRS-80s and DECmates at school. It's all so funny in hindsight.
My moms PC was my first ever to use in a house hold environment and that was an old Celeron not a Celeron 2 or 3, but a old Celeron... lmao the good old days.
But before all of that in school around 1986 they used an apple computer with the BIG B floppy disks for use to see the future basically and also prior to that was the OLD commodore 64.
I found an old Windows 95 PC in the garbage in the mid-90s. It weighed a ton, and my frail little ~100lb body (I was 10 years old) had such a miserably time walking it home. But alas, I got it home, and I spent my time tinkering with it for years. I broke it, fixed it, broke it again, and fixed it once more. Good memories!
