What was your first pc?

Jeez! I can't even remember.

My first pc was a 286 with 640k ram and a 20mb hard drive. It lasted a week and got upgraded to a 386 4mb ram and an 80mb harddrive. I think laptops followed after that, then work just dashed me one like every year.

Blogging and AdSense money got it for me.

And I started that blog with Nokia Express music

Bulletin boards and Wolfenstein and Lemmings mostly. It ran on MsDos and was superceded by the 386 for Win 3.1 on which I learnt Pascal, C and C+.

Omo! 286!! That's damned old bro. Definitely not a member of "Indomie generation"

My first ever PC was a BBC Micro with radio cassettes as external storage. First Laptop was. Toshiba Satellite circa 2002. Work horse that laptop. Used it until it's keys were falling off

Lol! You had a 286 by 1990!!! You were a "big boy". My BBC Micro was not acquired until 1993. First time I saw a PC real life was perhaps in 1990 when I visited a friend whose mum had just come back from the UK with an Amstrad

I was in UK, so perhaps not as big as you think.

No, not Indomie. I'm generation "pounded yam every Sunday", and that's after rebelling that there's no way I'm pounding yam every day!

Had a Toshiba too once. My cousin used it carefully till it's keys fell out.

Hence, don't tell anyone. If people know they might start calling me auntie or sister buda, and some might not be able to insult me like some do and we can't have that!

Old people on this thread

A friend dashed me one

You're Definitely old school but Does it mean you are enjoying the Insults and Banter online.

Insults? What insults? Nobody insults buda that I know of. Or have you seen buda insulted?

Banter? You mean the exchange of views and opinions? Yes. One learns from the diversity.

Apple 2

Gifted to me by my uncle

You're lucky.

Got it off Jumia

Early/Mid 2000s
Bought a used monitor, case and motherboard.
Pentium with 128mb RAM.
Windows ME.

Saved up for months before I could get the set up.

There was no google so i had to pay a ‘computer engineer’ to do the assembly. I watched him and learnt how it was done. He charged around 50k for everything (motherboard, PSU, keyboard and case were brand new though) which was a complete rip off.

I was able to now charge others to set up their computers. I started my first ‘company’ and installed 5 computers for a new business center in ibadan. Made enough money to buy a Sagem MyX5 and upgrade my system.

Then, computer village was a computer village with techies as traders. Now, it is a tout haven for used phones.

I still have that computer in my parent’s house.

You're lucky.

Was given to me by my sis..... IBM ThinkPad
2014.

2years later, Dell laptop core i3 I upgraded the ram to 8gb.

3years later I got window surface pro 5.
