    Aside from the ol C64, I started with an IBM PS2 286, with a dead 20 meg hard drive (big loss eh?) and a whopping 1 meg ram. It's MCA as well, so practically nothing works with it. Hmm... It's just sitting on that shelf taking up space. I could strip it down and try to use that mostly plastic case...

    That Colleco hand held football game. Does that count?

    But really, it was system built by a small local computer shop. Had a Cyrix "386-to-486" processor. With the 14" monitor it cost $1400. Geez.

    Yikes. Triple posting?

    Anyways...the first one that my family owned was a 486 w/win 3.1

    ...but that one doesn't really count because I never liked it (couldn't do **** on it).

    The one that really, really sparked my interest in comps was a Dell PII 233, 32mb ram (since upgraded to 64, soon 128), 24x CD-ROM, 17in monitor and internet access! This comp was exactly 3 years ago, this December (still have it). THAT is how long I've been into computers.

    Bought my VERY OWN computer 13 months ago. It was a Dell celery 400mhz, 192mb RAM, 15in monitor, 4mb vid, 4/2/24 CD-RW, AWE 64 soundcard. I sold it this past July.

    In August, I bought a Dell PIII 800mhz, 128 PC133 memory, 19" FD Trinitron, 64mb Geforce2 GTS, 8/4/32 CD-RW, SB Live. I love this computer
