Not counting the Apple IIe my mom use to bring home from school for the summer, my first computer was a Macintosh Performa 575. 33MHz, 8MB RAM, 250MB HD.

1 MHz! 3.5K of user RAM! Datasette! Staying up till 3AM typing in hex code from the back of Compute's Gazette! Writing a BASIC program to play the theme to "Hill Street Blues"!

Wow...my dad worked for digital computers, so I had them in the house from as far back as I can remember. I remember playing that damn cannon game where you set angle and trajectory and s*** to hit the other cannon. I also remember having "The Sierra Network" WAAAAY back in the day....Prodigy times...anyone have Prodigy? That BIG ass modem hahaha
TRS-80 when I was 9 or 10 years old. It came with this big manual with programming codes in the back. If you spent like an hour entering line after line of code you would get a stick man walking across a black screen or something stupid. I was so pissed the first time I wasted an hour doing that. And you were just screwed if you entered one letter incorrectly. I swore I would never use a computer again. 2nd computer (first one I actually used) was an Apple 7200.
Tandy 1000TX
dual speed 286 processor- could run at 4 or 8 megahertz
640k of ram
3.5"(double density, but not high density) and 5.25" drive.
It came with no hardrive, but we had a 20meg harddrive installed. It seemed like we'd never run out of disk space. That computer was so badass when we first got it.
