What was your first computer?

I mean the first one of your own. Not the first one you used in college or school or work. Mine was a 80286/2MB Ram/40 MB HD :-) 1.44 MB FD and 1.2 MB FD DOS 5.0 Nish

Apple ][, 64 k RAM, one 5 1/2 inch floppy drive. Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little. And you don't spend much time with the opposite sex working day and night, unless the pizza delivery person happens to be young, cute, single and female. I can assure you, I've consumed more than a programmer's allotment of pizza, and these conditions have never aligned. - Christopher Duncan - 18/04/2002
