I remember mine was a 486. Lasted years until I finally upgraded to a P1, due to requirements being over what the 486 could deliver. The old models are more lasting than some of our modern ones.

486 back in 95 i think. Damn I miss that turbo button

Commodore 64

AMD K6-2 450Mhz, 32MB ram, HDD 4.3 GB.

I almost wish I had owned a C=64. Not because it had all the pirated games, but because nowadays I feel quite indifferent about "the great C=64 games" or SID music, as I have no emotional bond to them at all. SID-music sounds to me mostly like someone is making farting sounds with his mouth. I prefer Amiga versions of all C=64 games, if available, even if some claim the Amiga version of e.g. Wizball was inferior to the C=64 original.

I just wasn't there, I guess... :(

486 at 33MHz with a TURBOOOO button that boosted it to 90 MHz. I think it had something like 8 or 16MB of RAM.

Kunovski: Sharp Something Something

the computer was a box containing the display and keyboard and you had to load games through a cassette player...
Sharp MZ80K probably.

Feeling old here....

The first computer I used was a CBM PET 4000 series, nice. First computer I owned was a sinclair QL then an Amiga 500

HereForTheBeer: Apple ][c or ][+, I think. Don't think it was a ][e

Snickersnack: If it was white and had a built in floppy drive it was a //c. The Apple ][+ was a beige wedge with a brown keyboard and no Apple keys (best computer Apple ever made).
Wikiwhosit says ][ or ][+. That was a long time ago so I can't say for sure which one. For sure it didn't have a built-in floppy drive. I wonder if it's still floating around Mom's house...

Commodore 64. Had it for years. Finally "upgraded" to a Tandy computer in my pre-teens. My birthday gift the year after having the Tandy was an upgrade to 640k of ram. Yes, I said k... I believe that specific model I had came with 256k out of the box.

My first experience with computers came in 1976, when I helped my uncle build an Altair 8800 (it exploded) and my Dad let me goof off on an IBM 3070 mainframe terminal at GM's building in Manhattan (it did not explode).

The first computer I owned was an Atari 800 in 1980. Damned fine machine. I can still close my eyes and see screens from Star Raiders, Galahad and the Holy Grail, Eastern Front and M.U.L.E.

I've had a Windows 3.1 machine back in the day (didn't know anything about specs by that time), later moved to a Compaq Presario 5000 (AMD Duron 700 Mhz, 64 MB RAM and a Nvidia TNT2 8 MB video card) and considered it my first computer as I was able to use it properly.

ZX Spectrum +2A.

I stupidly gave it away.

Last year I got another :D
