What was your first computer?

I was stationed at Schofield Barracks, HI, but living in Westloch Estates, near Ewa Beach. 1996. I was a senior Captain, in the Army. The internet was just starting. My Army assistant had a Mac for sale. It was an Apple Mac lc ii. It was dial-up and it was so slow. But, I loved every second of it! I surfed like crazy. I got into IRC groups and message boards. The Cowboys were still contenders. I went to the team site. There was an animation of Troy Aikman handing the ball to Emmitt Smith. It was so slow, that when Troy turned to hand the ball, it was only the top half of his body and the top half of Smith’s body moved forward to take the ball, before their lower bodies caught ypI have owned nothing but Macs, ever since.

First computer I used was an IBM 3-sickly (360) and an IBM 3-slovenly (370) at college. I progressed on thru Sun workstations and a MicroVax at work. Moved to TRS80’s, IBM PC, and a Compaq luggable at another work job. Finally bought a IBM PC personally – late 80’s. Lots of PC’s since then, in various configurations and different vendors.
