My First PC (circa 1996)

486 DX4 100 Mhz CPU (that puppy smoked! at the time...)

8 MB RAM

2 Hard disk drives! 1: 120 MB (original with the computer) 2: 340 MB (which, at the time, I thought I would never fill in 100 years)

28800 Modem

VESA 2 MB video card

Windows 3.11 (For workgroups) along with Plug-in for Windows (from Plannetarium Software)

14" CTX monitor

I later bought another 8 MB of memory for about $56, and man, did that puppy smoke with WFW311! Even later when I installed Win95, it ran real nice.

I had a Radioshack Color Basic computer with cassette drive from the time I was about 0-4 or maybe 5 years old. I liked playing this particular maze game on it called "Amazing".

Then I got an upgrade to a 286 10Mhz and boy was it fast!

I didn't have my first pentium until I was 16 years old and it was a Pentium 150MHz.

Tandy 1000EX running MS-DOS 2.1

No HD just a 5-1/4 floppy. I added a 720K 3-1/2 external floppy, topped off the RAM at 640K and though I was in heaven.
