Your First Computer

legoking831 2 years 6 months ago Posts: 8	I had an off-brand Windows 95 computer, can't remember the specs, but for what I know, it was SLOW. I haven't touched it in years, because when I first moved in to my third house, we hooked it back up, and the monitor wouldn't work. We didn't have a spare either, so it basically sat in my house collecting dust. We hooked it back up years later when we did have a monitor, and I was hit with a tsunami wave of memories. I used to play Humongous Entertainment games all the time on there. It was practically the only thing I looked forward to every day. Unfortunately, it wasn't hooked up for long, and my mom needed her monitor back. LOL! I haven't touched it since, but dang I have a lot of good memories on that computer.

It had: Windows 3.1 Intel i486 processor (66 MHZ) 300 MB Hard Drive 6 MB Ram 3.5 Floppy Drive 5.5 Floppy Drive CD-Rom Drive 15 inch monitor. All for the incredibly low price of around $1,300! As for the first computer that I personally owned, I got it in 2002 when I graduated from high school: Windows XP Intel Pentium 4 processor (1.8 GHZ) 200 GB Hard Drive 512 MB of Ram 3.5 Floppy Drive CD-Rom Drive 17 inch monitor. The computer itself cost around $500 when I got it, and the monitor was about $130. I still use the same monitor to this day (no point in buying a new one while it still works). I also use the same computer case, I've just upgraded everything inside it within the last couple of years.

iHateYourMoustache 1 year 10 months ago Posts: 86 Account Disabled	my family got our first computer around '94 or '95 when i was 6 or so. all i remember is the guy selling it brought it over to show it to us, and i wasn't interested at all until he loaded up Mortal Kombat on it. that had me sold at first, but when he tried to show me how to play it on the computer keyboard i said eff it because the keys were too confusing. i don't even remember if we ended up buying the computer or not, but the guy was over for like 5 hours..
