Default Re: OT: Complete the following statement, "My first computer was a..."

It was an IBM PC-AT, with a whopping 6MHz 80286 processor! Had the math co-processor, a Finnish-made EGA monitor (sold by IBM), a 20MB hard drive, and some sort of IBM graphics card that I could never find the piggy-back card for to increase the memory. I bought this sucker NEW in 1984, and with the fancy dot-matrix printer I picked out, the whole system came to well over $6,000.00. Still, I used the darn thing right up until about 1995 when someone gave me an old 386, which I then upgraded to a 486 DX2-66. Oh, and I bought one of those TI-99 something-or-other programmable calculators when I was in grad school about 1979. My god that case weighed a ton - it was built like they were gonna install it on Army tanks - who knows, maybe they did!
