What was the first computer you ever owned? (page 3)

Commodore Vic 20-- I bought it at a garage sale. It burned up a few days later.

A few months later I decided to go all out and buy an Amstrad 286. That was 1988 and it hung around until 1997. Couldn't do too much with it, but I have fond memories of it.

In 2000 I decided to buy an Imac. That was the worst computer I have ever had. Details are found at the Apple Computer thread.

In Summer 2003 my step-dad set me up with two Dell OptiPlex GXi computers. They may be old, but hey unlike that Mac at least it runs.

Commodore 128 was my first, second was an Amiga then a 286, forget the brand and can't remember how many more till now. I have built most of the ones since from kits and pieces I've had laying around.

Can you remember when C&VG Magazine (Computer and Video Games) consisted of program code listings to type in ?!?!

I remember staying up all night typing in a program on my TRS-80 and not saving it
