The first machine "owned" by me (as in, bought by my parents but placed in my room, back in 1993-4 I think) was a 66Mhz 486 running some version of DOS. However, I did have access to my dad's 286 and a friend's 386 a few years earlier, but I really didn't know how to do much with computers back then. That 486 hooked me onto the BBS culture, and later this transitioned to the Internet. I only really caught the computer hardware bug after my military service (2006-ish), and here the addiction really started when I bought my first Q6600-based rig. I haven't looked back since. When I started working in the industry about three years ago, the upgrade pace went exponential. lol.
