_JP_ · Apr 13, 2011, 11:05 PM

Aren't there, like, a handful of threads like this? I doubt the question, made in a different manner, is going to bring that much relevance to what has been already done.

skellattarr · Apr 13, 2011, 11:06 PM

maybe this belongs in the General Nonsense Forums can you move it there please.

Kreij · Apr 13, 2011, 11:10 PM

Sheesh ... tough crowd. It's hardware and OS related.
These threads usually produce some good discussion and a bit of nostalgia.

Me? TI-99/4a ... I was in my early 20s.

Prayers for your full recovery, FIF.

On topic ... My first computer program was stored on punch tape.

It worked great until my dinosaur ate it.

Maelstrom · Apr 14, 2011, 12:44 AM

First computer I ever used was my father's Apple, whichever one existed in the early 90s. He had me using the computer at age 2 supposedly xD

wabbitslayer · Apr 14, 2011, 01:03 AM

9 or 10, and a 16K Tandy Color Computer 2

boise49ers · Apr 14, 2011, 01:04 AM

1994 and it was window 3.1. Had like a 100 mhz processor
8 mb of ram and a huge 1 gb Hard drive. I must of been 35 yrs old.
First time I sat in front of a computer and the internet I was in total awe
and still am to this day. Funny thing is I think I spent like 1300 bucks for
a machine as soon as windows 95 came out. Now I think of what I could
build with that budget.

1989 Amiga 2000 is when it all started for me, and used that computer all through the 90's as Amiga was WAY ahead of anything else at the time, then jumped straight to XP at home, but used all the other Windows OS's at school from 1990 to 1999. O and my age was hmmm well i just turned 30 yesterday so that would make me around 9 to 10yrs old i guess

God im old lol

Eric_On_Web · Apr 14, 2011, 02:08 AM

Dos 3.1 and Tandy Computer needed to bootup with a 5 ¼ floppy disk each time then after switched Windows 1995 and Intel Pentium 200MMX. I was like 12 and the guy who sold me the old tandy sold it for 1000$ this bastard abused of the money I got from my grand father death. I better not see him back in my life or hes gonna have the face square like a floppy :P

CDdude55 · Apr 14, 2011, 02:22 AM

Was mostly a console gamer in the mid to late 90's and didn't really get into hardware until the early 2000's. And the machine i was using was some obscure old Dell system with Windows 95 on it.

And i think i'm the youngest to post so far, i turned 20 on April 1st.

Soylent Joe · Apr 14, 2011, 02:26 AM

Age 15 with Windows Vista. Before then, I used computers but weren't really "into" them, I just used them for school/internet/light games.

I'm bummed that I missed the golden age of computing

And the machine i was using was some obscure old Dell system with Windows 95 on it. And i think i'm the youngest to post so far, i turned 20 on April 1st. __________________ Currently playing: Team Fortress 2 (PC) "And remember if you didn't build it yourself, it's not really yours."

Before then, I used computers but weren't really "into" them, I just used them for school/internet/light games. I'm bummed that I missed the golden age of computing __________________ Heatware SteamID Last edited by Soylent Joe; Apr 14, 2011 at 02:35 AM.
