galla2k4eva Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 I've had computers since before I can remember I think my first was an old one from my dad's work that was about to be thrown out so he brought it home. It has a Intel 80186 and DOS and all the programs were on big floppys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
squares Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Convinced parents to get me a computer in the 6th or 7th grade. Almost 9 years ago. It was an eMachines, good times with starcraft & diabloII. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celcius Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I paid for my first pc. I was in high school and wanted to build one but didn't have the money so I sold my ps2 and all my games + saved my allowance to finance the project. I've been building 'em ever since B:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2t Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Well, my first PC was a blazing fast Acer P120 that I overclocked to an astounding 133mhz lol. My mom put it on her credit card but I paid for it. It was my first and last pre built machine, all have been built by me since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolair Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) My parents did, probably like... near 20 years ago. Bought it for my brothers, but the IBM 386 was my first computer ever. Edited December 5, 2007 by Xolair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccertl Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Well, I was already on my own and married by the time personal computers came out, so I bought my first one. Of course, that doesn't count the Tandy 4k computer (toy really) I had in tech school. I am talking about real personal computers.
