A Brother word processor. It was technically not a computer, but my friends Dad was a computer technician and he modded it and showed my brother and I how we could play games and some other software that would run on a Mac or what not. Good times....

My first computer was when I was 3 and it was something that plugged into a TV and ran DOS and had a 5 1/4" drive, would have been 1989 or so... Second computer was in 1995 or 1996, a Pentium 100Mhz, 16Mb RAM, 1GB Seagate HDD, 2Mb S3 Trio, Sound Blaster 16, 4x Creative CD-ROM, 14.4k modem, 15" CRT monitor and Windows 95! Cost my parents $4500 at the time.

Ahh the memories :)

AST computer running a 486 processor at around 50-75 mhz, with 1-2 mb of vram, 4-8 mb ram edo, running windows 3.1. Not sure what other specs are there for this desktop. I was only 8 years old when I got my first computer for myself to use

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
