First Computer: Punch Cards on an IBM 1620 Mainframe
First PC: Original IBM PC... Had to load DOS from a floppy everytime you turned it on... this was the "deluxe" model... TWO floppy drives.

Does anyone remember the Radio Shack TRS80 "Pocket" computer (below)? BTW the Grados are just for scale.
Although - truth be told - my favourite first computers were an Amiga 500 & Amiga 3000.

I can't really remember my first computer, the only thing that comes to my mind is that it was beige, slow, and very basic. I think the first computer that I could really call my own though, was an IBM Aptiva.

The first computer I ever used was a 286, which was my uncles. The first my family owned was a 486 IIRC, we had to get one of our own because my dad was doing reviews about "the internet".

Timex Sinclair 2000 with Z80 processor and whopping 16k of RAM. Those were the good old day

A Mac Classic. I used to do music sequencing on it with Cubase (version 2 or something like that).
