http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/homo.gif Mine was better than yours those because I had two 16K RAM packs on the back.http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...smilies/24.gif Used to love loading games from a tape recorder which made funny screeching noises for about 5 minutes and then failed to load because the volume wasn't at exactly the right setting and the instructions never told you what that was anyway! Not!http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...smilies/24.gif Remember the fun of writing out a long program in BASIC for hours on end to play some crappy game, not being able to save was a bastard for this too! My cousin once spent 12 hours non stop trying to make a cricket game, he had nearly finished when his sister ran in the room and accidently kicked the plug out of the socket!http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...illy_nilly.gif http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...illy_nilly.gif http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...illy_nilly.gif

oh I still miss it to this day! By the time I had upgraded (well, my parents upgraded me to a Commodore VIC20) I had the memory pack, and a proper keyboard for it. So cool. I was still using my ZX81 for BASIC programming up to the late 80s... Hey, remember a TV show called "The Whizz Kids"? They hacked into NASA on a ZX81!!

Just curious to see how many of you remember what was the very first computer you ever owned ?

This was mine

Commodore 64

But interestingly enough my first computer I learned to program and work on was YES ED.. And Apple II http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_series

Hello!
Me too bought C-64 during mid 80's but hardly used it..http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif then gave it away as I was not interested in learning languages (basic) ..only 4 1/2 years back bought P-3 and am using P-4 now!!http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

The first ever computer was Commodore 64 for games. Compaq Presario started my Internet addiction.

Apple IIc. I think my parents still have it at their house, buried somewhere in the attic.

HP : 503N

I want a macbook pro.

something one of my dads customers built for him

My father bought me a Tandy TRS-80 from Radio Shack. I mostly played games on it. Then I had an Apple 2 on which I used to make video games that were like ATARI's Space Invaders.

Mom bought me on from a friend so I could do my essay's on it... It worked well for that kinda thing.. but then I couldn't get ink for the printer anymore.... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo.../surrender.gif

Nearly 28 years and going strong on never owning one!

My first one is a lumpish lenovo my parents bought me in 2000. It is now in garage lol

My Compaq Presario cq61 Laptop was the first computer I owned.
