I found my first computer in the bin, along with a gigabyte motherboard and an Intel 486 60MHz chip. Yes I was quite happy until the computer game people starting making games for faster PCs I now get my dad's old PC when he upgrades. I now have a...... and don't laugh.......Pentium III 650MHz 256MB ram. It serves its perpose for the time being and it's better than nothing.

Well it would have been nice if I were to get a free computer. Sadly that wasn't my case
Well I was in the 5th grade (my parents long promised me a computer once I'll be in the 5th grade). They didn't have all the money for it and as we don't like borrowing money from banks, they started buying my computer piece by piece. And for almoust half an year every month they bought some part of my computer. The funny part of my story comes now... as the computer's parts where all on my sofa I was eager to see it working that everyday I used to hug and kiss the computer's components.
Yeah that was stupid, but I was 11 years old and there wasn't anything on the world that could make me happier then my own computer. And, even though I have changed it a few times since I bought it 8 years ago, I can say I still love it.

My story is not as interesting and advantage-taking as yours but I will post mine nonetheless. I figured I was going to do a lot of projects while in my 2nd year of tertiary education mainly programming. I can't be walking around in the campus looking for an empty computer lab all the time and wait to get home before starting on my programming project. So I decided to head down to my local Harvey Norman retailer and purchase a laptop. At that point of time, I wasn't too concerned what brand I would buy, be it an Acer, HP, Compaq, Fujitsu ... etc, I was introduced to a Sony Vaio laptop.

I was fascinated by the design of the laptop, one which is used for large scale video editing and also entertainment purposes. Its specs were one of the best around there and on top of that, it was the only laptop providing wide-screen resolution, very useful for me especially as I do designs using photoshop, it could really help me. Some bundled software came with it, namely Sonic products (Burner, Music player, editor ... etc) and Adobe (Premiere).

I have been using this laptop for a year and I am very satisfied with it. I will definitely continue using Sony Vaio if they are going to cater to Macintosh OSes, but I guess that won't be happening anytime soon.

I got my first PC from my parents, it was a pentium one, and it sucked big time lol After a few years I got to High School and started learning Delphi the language and I suprised myself and my parents, so then they bought me my own PC I do everything with my new PC it's just very expensive to buy new parts every once in a while haha

I got my first PC when I was 13 years old, I like most kids used it for games It was a old pentium1 with 200 mhz processor and it had 64 mb ram and 1 mb graphics. After I grew up and got in gr.11 I started learning Delphi and so my dad bought me a new Pentium4. I am still using it at the moment, and Im upgrading it along the way
