    Geeky Post a pic of your first...computer you used

    A Processor Technologies' SOL Computer. Had an external 8" floppy drive for storage, and if you nudged it, it'd have to have a tech comer out to realign the head! We used a card "hopper" to input, which required you to. We weren't allowed to key in our work!



    Then later I bought a Commodore 64, but this was the first computer I was exposed to.

    My first home pc was a 90 mhz Intel computer.Bought it in 2003 for 150 bucks from a guy at work who loaded Windows 98 on it.He gave me the pc, monitor, keyboard and mouse for the wonderful package price...

    My old work computer used to run WIN 3.1 and I actually had guys from other departments come to look at it and laugh the thing had about -25 mb of ram and was horrible...

    First computer I ever used....junior high school....the mighty TRS-80 with a tape drive





    First one I ever owned, the Commodore 64



    I didn't have an actual Commodore monitor, it was an old tiny TV and I didn't get the disk drive right away either, it was mucho expensive back in the day. I think the drive unit cost almost as much as the PC did.

    he finally comes by and showed me two sites - rotten dot com and sublime directory....not the best learning experience
