Oh way before all that. When I was 16, Tandy came out with the Model I computer. It had 4K (not a typo) memory and ran on DOS. They were $499.00 and more like a glorified calculator. Those were the days, lol!

Around 1965, computers were still being programmed by putting plugs into sockets on individual boards. I you needed to change program you replaced boards. My first modern computer was the Exidy Sorcerer, far ahead of the time. My ' most fun ' computer was the Commodore 64. To this day nothing has beaten it. And there were clubs all over the world. An IBM , if you could afford it, was a business machine. To make it popular they bought the rights to the Amiga, the bigger brother of the Commodore. That took competition away. It also killed a machine which was tops for graphics as was the Apple,Mac.

The first time I got interested in a computer was when my parents bought, it was Windows 95...It was an IBM desktop computer with 64 mb of RAM and a 4 GB hard drive...we still have it too....This was like 12 years ago....I didn't like the way Macs were back then, they were a piece of crap....

I wasn't really into the computer stuff when I was young. My dad made me go to this computer training center when I was in 5th grade, in 1992. But I didn't have any interest in it. Not until I was in College. I took a BS Civil Engineering Course in 1998. At that time, my dad bought us this new PC with WIN98 installed. Since then I started getting interested and curious about it. Especially the way games were able to run smoothly in it. And It looked very different from the way it was in 1992. I even shifted my course to BS Computer Science just to be able to learn about computers and develop programming skills. Thats how I got into computers.

I'm an old fogey -- an IBM 1130 at my high school which was obsolete before I was born, punch cards and all that. First PC was a Franklin (Apple 2 clone) with a whopping 2 KB of RAM (but expandable to 8 KB!), no floppies back then, you had programs recorded on cassette tapes.

in the late seventies. and early eighties.....when they first came out with color computers. back then i just mainly played around behind the scenes. messing around with the root directory and internal data. i wasn't even hooked up to the internet until a couple of years ago......i fooled around with programs a little bit too...
