My parents bought me a Intel 386 as a present for graduating 6th grade. I used that computer until I bought a Pentium 3 - 500mhtz when they came out. I had that sucker so tweaked out and optimized, it was amazing I got half the things I had to run.

This picture shows you the membrane keyboard. Its basically two membranes or plastic sheets with electrical contacts between them instead of proper moving keys. I remember the contacts on the membranes would break quite easily if you used them too muchDo You Remember the 70s, 80s and 90s?

Thats the chappy. Before I got a tape recorder it was a bit tedious as I had to program the games in each time I turned it on. I remember happily typing out lines and lines of code from a games magazine to play a very basic game. I thought it was great at the time though

Mine was a TRS-80 with 16K ram. It hooked up to the TV for its monitor. I also had a single-sided single-density floppy diskette and a 300 baud modem. My first program I wrote made a line go around the screen, kind of like the snake game, except it changed colors and made noises. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world at the time!

We got the aforementioned ZX81 and I still have it with me now in my office! Was hoping to sell it on a leading internet auction site the other day but saw how cheaply they are going for....may hold onto it til it's vintage rather than just retro!!!
Then we got a Spectrum followed by my C64 and an Atari STFM.

"my first computer was a Packard Bell 66mhz 486 with 4mb of ram"
It's great that such youngsters are on this forum)
My first computer was an Acorn Electron, which we had for years until we got an Olivetti 8086 - 64kb of RAM and a 5MB HDD! It wasn't until I was in the 6th form that we progressed to a 486: shows how old I am!
