What Was Your Very First Computer?

My very first computer was an Emachine I had bought over the QVC shopping network. I remember it cost me about a thousand bucks and I had to make 3 equal payments or something like that. This was POS tower. All my friends would laugh at me when they came over cause I didn't have a Compaq. I didn't know crap about computer at the time. I barely used aim or AOL, I had to learn everything from friends and self-taught. I didn't even know the difference between a MP3 file and a shortcut. I would copy all the shortcuts and burn it on my cd-rw. It was so noob. It would take me 1 hour to download one song off napster cause my 56k wasn't working right at the time.

At least you had your own computer. I had to share one computer with 6 sisters. We had to go on only an hour each day to finish our homework.

Six sisters with one computer is horrible. Lucky we all grew up and buy their own computer. Now we had our own family. We live our own life. No more sharing computer. :D
 
Funny thing, I'm pretty isolated and reclusive so I would love to share my computer lol with six sisters.

I don't like sharing with them. I need my own privacy too. They always be nosy.

My first computer was a Macintosh from Best Buy. It was expensive at the time I bought it. I just pick whatever the sales person said is good and my dad pay for it. I had good grade all my entire childhood and never gave them any problem with school so they didn't give me any hard time when I ask for my first computer.

They didn't require me to share my computer because I solely earned the rights to have it all to myself with my hard work. But I did share it with my siblings. I wasn't one of those that got stuck on a desktop either, I participate with outside activities and kept myself physically active at the time. Just like Happy, I self taught everything on my own with the internet help. Mistakes will be made but it's all good life experience. Good old times where most of the responsibility is with the parents and I just worry about school only, like they said to me as I was growing up. :)

I didn't have much of my own judgment as a child, I do everything my parents tell me to do. I always believe what they said is the right way. It makes me want to cry when I revisit the past of me not obeying them. :cry: I hate being a bad kid and all the times I talked back to them, I just want to go back and make it better. Give them a better memories of me. Parents aren't always right, but its my job to have them feel that way no matter what. Having my own opinion on things wasn't suppose to happen between us. They should never see that sides of me.

Being an adult makes me realized how stressful it is to maintain a living as parents at those times. I would never ask better of them if I have a chose to change the past. It's what it is, they made me the person that I am now and I liked the present me. Always motivated to better myself and stand up when I fall down. Never stop trying.
 
I was a very bad kid, spoiled to the core. I do feel so bad too. I feel bad that I couldn't be the "best son they ever had" type of shit. I carry this with me everyday - the pain and the failure I use it to motivate me to the maximum!

My first computer was an E-Mac, it was white, huge, heavy , and looked pretty cool! Macintosh products was still pretty underground at that time so I felt a bit elitism for having it. Then Mac products hitted the store several years later ... everyone talked about Apple products ... :eek:
