What was your first PC?
-
TRS-80 with a joystick, cassette deck, and a word processing cartridge. Don't remember what year it was. Wish I still had it to show my kids.

@scottalanmiller I never got to try an Apple mac when I was younger, were they just as expensive back then?
WAY more expensive then. Like 3x as much by comparison.
-
First used: TRS-80 (I think)
First owned: Apple II -
I see the T-99 mentioned a few times, was this machine only available in the states?
-
Anyone remember the Apple Lisa?
-
@danp Wasn't the machine named after Steve's daughter, I'm sure I see that in a documentary.

Of course, but I never had one.
-
I had a TI-994A that was my first computer then moved from that to a Zenith/Heathkit 286 as my first PC clone. I still have Microsoft Windows 1.4 on 5.25 Floppy from that machine!
-
HP Pavillion with Windows 95. Acquired either my freshman or sophomore year in high school.

@popester said in What was your first PC?:
Sinclair 1000. Z-80 Early 80's.
Then TI_99Same here,.. only it was a 'custom' in that it had a keyboard from Radio Shack, and my dad had built the box for it,.. the box / case was similar to the Apple IIe in shape... Even had a 300 baud acoustic modem.
-
I really loved the Sinclair QL I thought it was neat with it's internal tape drive.
-
I don't remember off the top of my head. I do remember it had two 5.25 floppy drives that you would need to swap in and out for stuff.

Me either. But I remember attending their grand launch back in the day and was awestruck at what I saw at the time.
-
first computer I used: Philips MSX
first pc I owned was a withe box w/ Pentium I MMX.
In the middle I played with Commodore Amiga 500 -
Either a C64 or an original Apple or Apple II.

You'd know if it was an Apple I, that was wood!
-
First one I used was I believe Windows 95 at my school when I was in elementary. Couldn't tell you what brand but I seem to think IBM.
First one I owned was an HP Pavilion laptop in 2007. Very sentimental when that thing died on me.
-
My first personal computer: VTech Precomputer Power Pad
I was obsessed with the BASIC coding program on there.
-
LOL, I vaguely remember those.
-
I was 6 when I was handed down a C64, bought a 286 out of the tradin post when I was 7 using paper route money. At 8 I had a couple 286's and an Apple IIe handed down to me.
I also bought one of those 1980's portable 386sx units where it was like a metal suitcase and the keyboard folded out of the front to reveal a small green screen and two 5.5" floppy drives. I specifically remember dragging it in to a Frisch's Big Boy while my mom wasnt paying attention and setting it up by a power outlet. lol.
