    Your first computer

    Ok.. mine was a Commodore, not even the 6400 - some smaller version

    The first one I remember any of the specs on was a 25MHZ UPGRADED to 8MB of RAM. I think it had like 100MB harddrive or something like that (I don't recall that part). And this was one of the best at the time - I later added an external CD ROM drive.

      Apple II+. 24k ram, upgraded to 48k, no hard drive, paddles before getting a joystick. Dozens of games fit on a single 5.25" floppy disk. Had it until the mid 1990s.

            Something with a 5.25 drive and a mono green/black screen. To young at the time to know any more. First I remember was a Tandy Sensation.. 486, 120MB HDD. IIRC, it had 4 megs of ram stock, which my old man upgraded to 16. Also, first PC on the market with a CDROM drive.

              I had some Tandy 386 SX. I added the ATT math co-processor to it (cuz back then they weren't inside the main chip). I then put the Cyrix 486SX upgrade chip into the machine. Basically, it piggybacked onto the 386 (which was soldered to the board).

                Commodore 64
                Tandy TRS80 and Tandy CoCo
                IBM PC (Original - 8088 Processor, Text only monochrome graphics, 16K ram, (dual) Single Sided 160k floppies - No HD)
                Then from there on I had just about ever variant of an IBM compatable.
