My first computer was actually a Packard Bell. ;) When I got it, it was nearly top of the line. It was a Pentium 60 Mhz, had 8 MB RAM, 420 MB HD. 14.4 Modem.

My first computer was actually a Packard Bell. ;)
When I got it, it was nearly top of the line.
It was a Pentium 60 Mhz, had 8 MB RAM, 420 MB HD. 14.4 Modem. I think it also had 1 MB Video memory and a 2x CD-Drive. I later upgraded it to 16 MB Ram. I built the next few computers I owned and have since switched to Macs.
I actually did my first programming on that machine. I used QBasic to make a simple game where you moved a car around the screen.
I think I still have it in a closet somewhere.
- sspencer 19y agoHa, sounds just like mine! The only differences were that I upgraded mine from a 486 to a Pentium 90(!) and bolted an internal Iomega Jaz tape drive to the outside of the case for more storage. It ran Windows 3.1, which allowed me to wile away the time playing SkiFree when I was young. My QBasic game was a word guessing game. It was fun to write, and not fun at all to play.
