I got my first computer when I was eleven and new computers with even windows xp were coming out. It was a old compaq with windows 95 so I couldn't go much further in the internet with it and it was slow as hell. HA HA HA. Thinking about it makes me laugh!

I bought a little Radio Shack computer. It was smaller than the trs-80. Can't remember the name of it. But it turned on, let you do some basic programming, and it turned off. No tape drives, no disk drives, only 4 kb of RAM in it.
I bought it for $70 when I was a 7th grader in 1982 or 83. I used to print out the games in basic, at school, off the Commodore 64s. I'd come home and type in the code. There was some basic codes that were different with the little computer I had and the Commodores. So I had to either leave some features out completely or try to translate Commodore basic to Tandy Computer basic.
And after taking hours of typing in the basic, then it would all be lost when I turned the computer off, since there was no way to save it.
Compare that to today's computers? Well I think its pretty self explanatory already.

I have my first one a C64 in 1989. It was great then, for playing games and even has several programs with simmilar usability as calculator, Excell, Word and Paint. It has a MC (music cassete player/recorder) as media. It was plugged directly to ordinary TV thru antena port. Has integrated case with keyboard , LPT and RS232 serial + 2 joystick ports (serial). It was working 10 hours daily every day for at least 10 years without a single glitch.
I have it somewhere and I bet its still in working condition

An old IBM X86 back in the early 90's. Complete with a 40 MB hard drive and 4MB of RAM. Who could want more than that?
What a race horse!

My first computer was my dad's TRS80. I used to play Oregon Trail on it all the time.
Now I would describe it as a collector's item I probably should've kept. ;-)
