| | QUOTE(Zero Ziat @ Sep 26 2006, 09:24 AM)  Yeah... Me? I don't remember but I am interested to know about you. I know it may seem a stupid question but it interests me. So... What was your first comp and how did you learn to use it?
I have seen people using it.. But exploring a computer is the assumption i take from you when you mean using the system. It was a windows 2000.. Pretty advanced OS i should say. I have a special liking towards that OS. Now i have hands on experience on the new and very old operating systems... |

My first system was some IBM PC. I don't remember the generation or model for it. I was 12 yrs old  My dad taught me how to use it. I don't even remember the exact specifications. It was loaded with DOS initially, and later Windows 3.1. I still like Windows 3.1 bcoz of the interface. I think it also had a 5 1/2 " Floppy drive bay.

Speaking of first computers, the first "Proper" PC i got was a 386SX, 25mhz with 40mb Hard Drive and a 3.5 FDD, and a external 5.5 FDD. The brand was Amstrad (now defunct), which at the time was a okay brand, however it was difficult to upgrade some parts considering the parts Amstrad used was different to other manufacturers around at the time (Compaq, HP, even Commodore, etc).

As we go about our everyday lives things seem to just pass by and technology is all around us. When

when we are paying for our bill, but how does this all work? Computer’s abilities are often

pretty sure I have it error free for now. Vote yes or no on each one or leave it blank if you
can't decide. I am going to tally them up at the end of the week. Voting will end this time a
week from now so Sunday, November 5, 2006. I am not quite sure how many votes will be needed to
make the category a set one but maybe i'll make it 1/2 of votes are for yes or just over.
We'll see how many people vote. Here is the link: http://stexel.net/trapawards ...
