my first memory of computers was an old mac OS (no idea which, was on a laptop, didnt have proper colour) which sang a wee song "i love trashhhh" and the icon danced about when you put something into the trash can. was brilliant.

okay, actually researched this, was mac OS 7 apparently, it was awesome.

The first PC I had was given to us by my aunt & uncle. The CPU was Pentium Family 100MHz, it had a 1GB HDD and, I believe, 16MB of RAM. It ran Windows 95. At the time I knew pretty much nothing about PCs (not much has changed then... ) so when I ran out of hard drive space I did a Windows search for all the files on the drive, sorted by biggest filesize first and started deleting them. I got more free space, but next time I rebooted the machine it failed to start properly...

First PC was an IBM XT, monochrome gfx, 40mb hdd IIRC, 640kb ram. We had the c64 a few years after that

Luxury. I still have my first one, the old faithful Panasonic "portable" 8088 with two DD floppy drives, naturally no hd, green monochrome and built-in matrix printer. Dos 2.11. and 512kb ram. Damn hard to drive full lap without crashing in Indy500, but doable.

I do love how the forum has totaly ignored the supposed own and is making something useful out of a rickroll thread

My first IBM Compatible had twin floppies, an 8mhz CPU, and the latest Herculese >>>graphics<<< card, yes mine actually did graphics! It had a daisy wheel printer that was louder than my stereo.

Did I miss the testpatch containing the cyrillic font-pack for win 3.1?

Remember it? I still have the 7 floppies it (one of the editions) came on

Haha, I remember this! I always used to use the Packard Bell Navigator software instead of the Windows UI at first because it had a cool whistling cartoon guy

At least it was a graphical interface.

My first pc had this interface:



And a bit later later this:



btw, the file manager and graphical interface of Windows 3.1 were still shipped with Windows XP, they were removed since XP SP2. start -> run -> progman for the graphical interface, and start -> run -> winfile for the file manager.

Don't you know how to launch Windows 1.0 or 2.0 in VirtualBox or QEMU? For me it just beeeeeeeps

Hehe classic. Directly above me on my bookshelf now is the Windows 3.1 User guide, and the MS-DOS 5.0 User guide, still as mint as the day I got them. God knows why they're still on my shelf.

Yeah there's a cool trick for hacking locked down till systems if you edit the win.ini to load progman.exe or taskman.exe as the shell=

It's also a brilliant way of screwing with display PC's in shops, that and a entry in the RUN section of the registry for an obscure error message ;P.

They've done away with it now so no idea how i'd hack a modern till until i'm next committing fraud, i'll let you know when I do...

I'm really not an anarchist, honestly anymore.

And this ?

Now we're into my generation:



I had a ZX81 (1k RAM expandable to 16k!), a 48k Spectrum +, 2 Spectrum +2A's and a +3 (which still works as far as I know). Those were the days.
