My first computer was a Packard Bell. I have no idea what it had for a processor, I wasnt into computers way back then. It had like 16 megs of RAM, and like 500 MB of HDD, if even that! This was the slowest **** I had ever gotten. This was about 6 years ago, and the computer cost around $2500 !!!! How crazy is that... That much money today could get a beast of a computer! When I look at what they have today, and how much less it costs, its hard to believe that much was ever charged for a peice of **** like that!

My first computer was a little machine called Aquarius. You hooked it up to your TV and the only interesting thing about it was that Microsoft BASIC was included.

Hmm..
If being programmable is the important item then it was an HP-65.
After that a TRS-80 Model I with cassette and GULP, 16K of memory! WOW, how could we ever fill all that memory space?

Mine was an IBM compatible XT
640 KB RAM
5.25" Single density FDD (360k)
3.5" Double density FDD (720k)
10 MB KLH MFM HDD
(Formatted to 7.4 MB using a mismatched BIOS driven MFM controller - who hoo!)
Hercules MCGA adaptor with parallel port
Orange Monochrome monitor
I had to reseat the expanded ram due to 'chip creep’ that occurred quite often because the full height HDD caused a lot of vibration
Anyone else remember King’s Quest II?
