What Was Your First Computer, And How Did You Learn To Use It? - After hours of searching which category this fits in, I couldn't f

Teri Luketic
My first computer was a family computer that we were given. It was my aunt's first one as well. I ended up learning it faster than the others in the house just by trial and error and the fact that they're not usually all that hard to deal with. She knew just enough to work it because of things she had to do at work, but this was her first personal computer. She still (on our fifth computer) knows about what she did before and we're on XP now.

I got to have a Tandy with two 5 1/4 floppy drives. I played with the computer, blew it up a couple times. Then I found I like playing with computers and decided to take computer classes at a college.

Oh wow, I first started using the computer for lion king games when I was like 3. As I got older and older, I started to do more and more things until I got my own laptop. At that point I started teaching myself Programming and stuff like that. And now here I am! ^^

The first computer I used was a Pentium I, running on DOS.
Not the easiest way to learn, but after 3 PC's I kinda got the hang of it.

This knowledge of DOS really was usefull after I started using Win95 and so on.
I can still remember my favorite games on that computer, Quake I and Duke Nukem

My first computer was Commodore 64 and it is just classical. I worked day and nights on it. Though I was too young to do some really good programming I knew basic commands and also commands for its system which in fact were needed to play games. lol but it was good times. No system crashing stable and workable. I remember some radio stations were playing codes for games. And it was so cool because they you would put new casset in the tape recorder and in the morning you had brand new games. It was so cool times. And no one was complaining about copyright issues everyone were like one huge family.

They were pretty expensive but they are classics. And games I played on them I often serach for on the computer to remmeber my childehood. It was really nice.

The 1st time I use computer when I was 6 years old. Run on IBM-clone PC, Black & White screen, DOS.
NOt really my computer, but can be called as my father->my family->mine PC. hehehhe
That time I only use to play games ( Dont remember what games) smile.gif smile.gif
Today also, I like to use for palying games (but learn to fully use computer by forcing myself learning programming, develop website, etc) smile.gif

my very first computer was gifted to me by ma father when i was in my 10th grade.

its 6 years now since i got it. i still have the computer safely in my house.

it configuration was,

intel celeron processor
some compatible motherboard
128MB RAM
40GB hard-disk
no graphics card
300W SMPS
speaker set


it was a very slow computer but still i love it.

it was a decent model when i bought it. now it is nothing compared to modern computers.

i will keep that computer till it goes really bad. i still love it!

I'm not sure what windows it ran but there were different tabs like applications etc. It was just a screen with the computer built in (kinda like a mac) cept better than a mac because it isn't one. I am self taught in computers so I suppose experimenting but to be honest I ever really used it as it wasn't the best of things... thne again this things bout 4years old so im getting a new 1 in may.
