the first computer i ever used wasn't really mine, it was something i saw at the private skool i used to go to in pre-k and kindergarden, it was this really old IBM or Mac (hell i don't remember) that had a green-and-black screen, ran no OS whatsoever, you just plopped a 5.25'er in there and fired her up, damn, the only crap they'd let us play was reader rabbit, they had a COLOR one in the pre-k class after i moved onto 1st grade.
i got my first PC when i was like 6 years old:
HP Pentium 200 MMX (dude, i remember telling friends i could control the apollo spacecraft with it )
32 MB RAM
A whopping 3.8 GB harddrive made by what is now Seagate (that thing was LOUD)
