My first computer was a cheap gen that my parents got for looking at lake lots. it look like a keyboard that pulled into the tv. had not drive storage. So each time you wanted to do something you have to type in all the code for that program.

An old C64, from the days tape decks were hot stuff and you could 'download' new games by tuning in to rogue radio stations that would broadcast them on the short band. All you had to do was put your tape in and record. My first pc was a 286 clocked at 20 mhz ( I think ), with a 40 meg HD, two megs of ram and a black & white monitor.

Re: OT: Complete the following statement, "My first computer was a..."
First computer was the Atari 400, all tricked out with a membrane keyboard and tape drive! Let me tell you there is nothing like typing on a membrane keyboard especially when you enabled the 'clicking' sounds!
Migrated through several generations after that.
XT (8mhz), 286-16, 386sx-25, 486sx-50, P100, P133, AMD 200, P200, Celeron 466, Celeron 533 oc to 800, P933.
However, I just acquired a C-64 off ebay to play Mail Order Monsters! What a great game!

Apple II with 16 KB, integer only Basic, Radio-shack tape drive, pixiverter (to connect with channel 3 on the TV), back in 1977 or 78. I believe it was in the low 4 or high 3 digit serial
numbers. I do know that it was before they added the slits on the side for cooling, and we had
trouble with heat buildup.
