      @danp Wasn't the machine named after Steve's daughter, I'm sure I see that in a documentary.

      Not sure TBH.

      Anyone remember the Apple Lisa?

      Of course, but I never had one.

      Me either. But I remember attending their grand launch back in the day and was awestruck at what I saw at the time.

          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.

                    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.

                          Does a Amiga 500 count? Remember having that then upgrading the RAM and having an external Hard drive in a expansion module thing.
                          Got me interested in 3D animation when one of the magazines released Imagine for free.....loved it.....wish I got more into it now and tired to make a career in it....oh well I'm enjoying IT infrastructure stuff anyway

                          After that a 486 with Windows 95

                            My first "laptop" was a zenith with "twin" 3.5 floppy drives, yes 3.5, state of teh art. Dad gave it to me for HS graduation.

                              Apple IIe was the first computer I used. The first one I owned was an Epson 8088.
