Same... basically a TV wired into a CPU / GPU with an external 5.25 floppy drive.

I know we had an Atari . . . I believe the 800XL. I remember playing around on that when I was 7 or 8. When I was 10 or 11 I seem to recall we had a 286 PC with MS-DOS, which may have been the first one we had that wasn't used primarily as a gaming device. After that we had at least one other DOS system, maybe 2, before we had a system with Windows 3.1 and MS Bob (anybody else remember that product?). The first computer I bought for myself would have been a Pentium 4, built by Computers, Etc. in 2001. I believe it ran Windows ME.

The first computer I ever owned was a Pentium II 200 with MMX and 32 MB of EDO RAM... built by Royal PC and it ran Windows 95. I remember thinking that it SCREAMED.
When my wife and I were dating she had a Packard Bell all in one that was a 486 with a 13" monitor.

Those were the first I owned. The first computers I used were a DEC 11/15 and a UNIVAC 1110. In the same time period I also operated DEC 11/T45, DEC 11/55 and a DEC 11/70 (spent a lot of time PEEKing and POKEing the DECs and using FORTRAN 4 to run programs on the UNIVAC (via punch cards)). Also, we had an entire single bay chassis from Control Data that just did Fast Fourier Transforms, something today is on a single chip and much, much faster.

Used or owned? Either way, I don't remember. Something in the late 80s for used, and early 90s for owned (Compaq, I think).

My first was a Timex-Sinclair(wonder if they are worth anything now). The first one that was worth using was a Commodore 64.
