[QUOTE="T_G, post: 243644, member: 175083"] The first computers I used were in 1981 at school. We were learning Basic, and wrote little useless programs. There was some sort of dialup between the computers, I once forgot to log out and the teacher was pissed off with me (must have been the phone bill he worrried about). Haven't got an idea what spec puter it was though. My own first computer was a 286 with windows 3.1. I got as a present from my landlord, must have been around 1994/5. It had a huge 50 meg hard drive, and had a Stacker program to increase capacity. Then I needed to use Autocad on it, so I got a "math co processor", a 650 meg Western Digital HD and (I might be wrong) some amazing 8 meg of additional memory. I used it for a couple of years, and then sold it to my work place for 250 or 300 quid, as I needed a computer there. Good business, and went towards my second one which was a 200 MH MMX (which I still have somewhere).... [/QUOTE]
