A real PC!

[Fu. Svedberg]

I just pulled this out, I had almost forgot that I had it.
I present to you my first computer:

I'm really tempted to connect it to the TV and firing it up. Been so many years since last time. I just need to find the power brick, casette player and my TAC 2 joysticks

My first computer is the one that I'm on right now.

Mine was this one;

but it was kinda sh*te to be honest

The first GOOD one was the C64. Kinda regret selling it to have money for the Amiga though.
Nowadays I just use an emulator; http://www.viceteam.org/

My oldest computer next to my most resent computer.

I so wish I could hook up the Commodore to the iMac screen

EDIT:// And why does my camera suddenly have such a noticable "fish eye" effect?

Hey, you got exactly the same T-Rex toy I had as a kid!

I loved it so I will never throw it away nor give it to my future kids

 

[Coey]

You've got the same Coke glass that I have!

 

[Ralfst3r]

Awesome, is that the one you could stick a modem in the back of?
My first was a Commodore 64 with casetteplayer.

sheesh i thought my 386 was old

 

[Zips]

The Commodore 64 > the 128

All I'm going to say. My C64 (rather my brother's) is still back home, else I'd dig it up and totally blow away your faces with 64KB of pure awesome.

Here was my first:

Anyone want to take a stab at what it was?


Seriously though, my first computer was an Atari 800. Cassette recorder for storage.
I wish I'd kept it. However, one cold winter I sat down at the keyboard and a static charge arced between my finger and the computer.
It was DOA. Literally. I really learned to respect static electricty after that

8K base
48k max
Mine came with 16k and the Basic programming cartridge.
I bought the Defender game cartridge and a cassette player for data storage.
I spent many an hour on it, right up until its untimely demise.

Yours looks to be in excellent shape. You should fire it up....

Most used command on a 128: go64.

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

My first one was some 16kb Texas Instrument contraption. Had to type all the programs into it in Basic and then save them on cassette tape. I couldn't really find any pictures of it despite searching.

My next real computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80 IV that I had lots of fun with. Did anyone ever have the old Avalon Hill (text) game for it.... Empire of the Overmind?

Wish I had them both now just for the hell of it

PS: On the 'age' thing, I think Floyd wins

Reading this thread, i decided to go search my attic for nostalgia, and hidden in an old drawer in a discared bit of furniture kept for storage space, there she was! my first love!

She desperately need a bit of cleaning though..

Here was my first:

Isn't that an Altair 8800?

If so; COOL!

Very true, even if I did stay in the C128 interface quiet a bit learning how to program in Basic
