How old were you when you got your first computer?

One that was just yours and not shared?

 

It was a somekind of family computer. I think I was like 10. It was a 286.

 

When I first went to Uni at 17. Before that I would use the living room family computer for porn. Never got caught cause I'm a ninja. Although technically, I've never owned my own computer I've only owned my own laptop

 

I got my first laptop when I was 21 never owned a desktop

 

21 when I was at college.

 

Twins

 

Desktop when I was 15, laptop when I was 20

 

Computers were invented back then?

 

I had a Pentium 4, which at the time was pretty decent

 

Were you able to stream the moon landing on it or did you have to watch that on television?

 

I got my first computer in 1987 at the age of 23...an 80186-based Tandy 2000. It wasn't compatible with the IBM PCs on the hardware level, so I had to figure out how to create my own programs, which was a lot of fun. It had 256K RAM (expandable to 768 K), a 10 MB hard drive and a 720K 5.25" floppy drive.

 

When I was 20.

 

A desktop at 17.

 

I was 5, family got me a Vic20 pre internet, so I learned how to program graphics in BASIC and I played games. It was sweet

 

After 30 years, I still get the same thrill when writing code.

 

I wish I’d stuck with it. My brain got a little addled about 4 years ago when I had an attack, still not running right, my memory sucks and code vanished

 

I don’t know. I think the MacBook I bought off eBay when I started college so like 19 or 20?

 

Also about 10

 

I was 21, I bought it right after I finished school.

 

Didn't you need one for school?
