Your First Computer
 
What was your first ever computer (be it shared, or your own.) Mine was a Windows 95 desktop. It crashed p bad, tho back in the day. :(

A Gateway computer with Windows 98 installed. My parents primarily bought it for my older sister who was still in high school at the time.

back then all I cared about was getting on nick.com to play Nickelodeon games and stuff. :D

A Windows 98 laptop...in 2007. Then in May 2008 I got my first actual laptop, which ran Windows Vista. Soon afterward a desktop with Windows XP because we all know about Windows Vista.

Mine was a HP computer with Windows 95 at and at school we had crappy ass Gateway with Windows 95. And this was well into the 2000's. Its like we skipped Windows 98...lol.

Some old 2000s Dell computer with Vista or XP

First that I had at home was an HP Media Center desktop with XP on it. Pretty solid, good for office use and not much else. It finally died in August of a PSU failure.

Mine was a Dell computer and then an early Dell laptop. I used to play random kids games on them both when I was a lot younger. My family ended up replacing both the computer and laptop with better laptops.

An eMachines with Windows 98 installed. Thing was quite good for what it was, a cheap computer. Came in massive boxes.

starseed galaxy auticorn December 13th, 2018 12:07 PM

I'm pretty sure our first real computer was a Gateway. I could be wrong because it was several years ago.

Bay December 14th, 2018 11:26 PM

A Sony desktop that had Windows ME installed. Boy oh boy ME had loads of problems, lol. Used it from 2000 something until 2009 when it became very laggy. I then got a Sony VAIO with Windows XP and used it for several years until it got hit with a virus oops.

LadyJirachu December 15th, 2018 3:04 AM

The first computer I ever used was one of my dad's work laptops. I don't remember much about it except that it used DOS because I distinctly remember he got an upgrade once to Windows 3.1 and I thought the graphical interface was confusing lmao. I think I was 3 or 4 so all I really did was play educational games off my floppy disks. Although I also distinctly remember playing one of the Leisure Suit Larry games but I was too stupid to figure out how to actually do anything risqué so I guess that's why I was allowed to wander around in it.

More than a decade later, when I was 16, I finally got my first laptop. It was used and was kind of crappy even by the time I got it, but ohhh my god it was my own computer! I had to go out and buy a separate PCMCIA wifi card to connect to the internet and I only had about 30min of battery life if I wasn't plugged in, but it was my very own computer!! I had Windows XP on it, which was an upgrade from Windows 2000 on the family computers, so I was thrilled. It seems so quaint now, and I got a new top of the line one within two years anyway when I graduated high school, but that laptop meant the world to me, lol.

TY January 7th, 2019 10:02 PM

First one i owned myself was a HP desktop from like 2011 with Windows 8.1

First one i used would be a very old desktop from like 1997 which my grandparents bought and I just claimed it as mine lol.

Brendino January 8th, 2019 12:26 AM

When my uncle upgraded to a Windows 95 computer way back in the day, I remember that he gave us his old Windows 3.1 set-up. Part of me wants to say that we had some old DOS machine that we used before that, but I was only around 3 or 4 at the time, so maybe I'm just remembering things.

nuuk January 8th, 2019 8:31 AM

the first computer my family had was a super old computer that ran DOS and only had about 20 programs on it. next computer ran win 98 but was so.........slow.......... then we had a win xp computer which i kept until like 2010.

Arsenic January 8th, 2019 8:43 AM

When I was younger my Pa would set me up with a decent computer whenever an upgrade was needed. I was lucky in that field.

The first computer I remember was good enough to play BF2 the day it came out but I don't remember much else.

The first one I remember a little more about was an AMD build that could play crysis on Med/Low with the physics turned high enough to blow up the shacks (I thought it was the coolest thing ever lol)

tktech January 15th, 2019 5:15 PM

My first Computer was Intel. It was a pentium 4th Intel Computer.https://tktech.vn/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GO026G.png

An HP laptop in 2006 that was given to me as gift when I was 6

Sothis January 15th, 2019 7:44 PM

It was an HP tower and I believe we got it in 2002/2003? I'm not too clear because my memory is rather bad.
It was good for its time

Xertified January 16th, 2019 9:27 AM

Believe it or not, I still have my old Windows XP Dell PC and I deadass am typing this with it right now. It has been here in my room for 8 years and it was originally Windows 7, but we downgraded it to XP cause it runs like crap.
