Do you remember your first computer?

[Cult Zero]

Pssst... You're writing it wrong... that's Apple ][E

[Memphis Raines]

Pentium 3 (naks!) Model 586 with Seagate na 4GB hard disk (huwaaaw!). 64mb of sdram memory costing P64k! (kasi the price then, back in 1996, was 1,000 pesos per mb ).

Monitor was a 15inch Viewsonic, then it had a trackball . CDRom Drive then Creative SoundBlaster. I think the videocard was a Savage na 16mb.

Of course, the indispensable 1.44 Floppy Drive that fit snugly into the AT Casing hehehe.

[baludoy]

our first computer was the sinclair. never got to master it though because it was way too complicated for lil ole me i remember you had to hook it up to a tv to use it because that boobtube will serve as your monitor. tapos puro cassette tape pa ang software. the kilometric loading time used to drive me nuts

and then my father brought home an amstrad computer from the us. floppy disks galore tapos ang monochromatic monitor pa namin was colored violet or pinkish kaya iyong one on one game ni jordan vs bird weird panoorin hahaha. even the nba 5 on 5 game was funny to watch

i remember we had a BASIC language subject in high school. puro run, if then at goto iyong mga keywords or statements maalala ko

[D_rock_777]

Apple IIE ang una kong PC, ang monitor 17" Sony TV na black & white, ang bala ko mga naka cassette tape kaya ang driver / player ko iyung aking unang cassette player din na Sanyo..... ako rin ang gumawa ng una kong computer table...pacman, pinball, at marami pang games limot ko na rin ang iba...

nakatabi pa rin siya ngayon sa bahay, ang sarap alalahanin ang una mong first love di ba? si apple...

My C64 was still working when I left the Philippines. And before that I had the Commodore VIC20 ... 16k of ROM, 22 char/line, CBM Basic, a tape drive for data storage. I even remember the processor being a 6502 and the video chip a 6510 .

The OEM tape drive is digital, so you can't use an ordinary cassette player. One of my first DIY circuits was an analog to TTL interface for cassette players that I copied from an issue of Gazette magazine. And like everybody else, the loading time used to drive me nuts.

I also used to have an XT laugh-top like this one:



These things are heavy!

[bat_zignal]

Apple IIe (clone) from Virra mall.

Commodore VIC 20 (original) from the US.

Then came the PC 486 XT clones.

[VtEC]

tanda kolang celeron processor.
3.5" f. disk
cd drive

[boybi]

My first computer was a PC-XT clone, 2 5.25" floppy drives and no harddrive. 14" green CRT monitor and no mouse. I think it was running at 8MHz (or was it 8KHz? ), then after a year or 2, upgraded it to include a turbo mode. It has a button on the front of the casing, activating the turbo would make the games run very fast :bwahaha:

[moe]

apple IIe, 64kb cache, 5 1/4 floppy disks, 10 pound disk drives, green monitor. software= pacman, space invaders, where in the world is carmen san diego, wordstar. after a few years, 286, with a ridiculously large 10 mb harddisk and monochrome monitor. that pc was fasttttttttttt!

[wildthing]

my first exposure was in school 1982ish - GENIE (parang malaking Atari) with green monitor. Learned BASIC programming language...nakapag-gawa pa ako ng game like TRON (aka SNAKE sa nokia 5110) after about 3 months na programming class.

my first own computer was in 1997 - toshiba libretto 110C 233mmx yata ang processor nun.

[A121]

Clone Sunstar branded PC:
