Nicking this thread from another site. I'll start it off...

I'd worked on many computers on the Mac and PC sides of the fence for art since jump street, but the first computer I bought for myself (actually from a money gift from mom — I bought the monitor and external removable drives for it) was a Macintosh Centris 660.



When I got this, the Quadras were the hot shit but I couldn't afford those. Damn, those were the days. SCSI ports ruled the universe and USBs and FireWire was just an itch in Steve Jobs' pants.

Ours had a 20 megabyte hard drive, 16 meg of ram, 286 maybe. It was a system my FIL put together in 1986. He charged us $900 and we paid him $100 a month for the first almost year of our marriage.

I have yet to buy one myself. My first computer was given to me and the rebuild after it died only cost me some Captian Morgan. I'm still using the rebuild after about 3 years.

My first computer was an Atari 800 saved programs on cassette tapes but you could also use it to play games.

My first computer was a Hyundai (PC compatible) with a 286 processor, one 5 1/4" floppy drive and no hard drive.

My first puter was an HP, running Windows 3.11 with a mail-in voucher to get the Win95 upgrade when it came available...if I recall correctly, it had a 512mB hard drive, about the capacity of regular CD-ROM...don't laugh, I'm still using the MS Money program that was bundled with it...
