What was your first Computer experience?

Hi I’m KG the Techie –

Did you hear… commodore 64 is making a come- back to the Personal computer market. Commodore 64 was the premier computer back in “hey wow techie days” in history. Commodore 64 was where I got my first taste of computer programming. Wow what fun back then.

It’s great talking about the days where you first got into technology. Actually my first revolving computer I’ve own was a “Pack from hell” yes indeed a Packard Bell computer, that way back in 1993. That computer was junk, I bought it from Wal-mart. They had a sale on it. On the sale sign, it said buy it as is, right there… I should have known, something was wrong with that system.

I had a friend of mine, looked it over, at the time, back then, I had little knowledge of computer parts or even knowing how to repair anything dealing with computers. That soon changed, my friend showed me the ropes on computer technology like in 1993, and I’ve been involved with building my own computers and knowledge about technology since then. That’s my 2 cents.

  1. Wow, I think my first computer experience was receiving an Apple IIe from my mother's friend. This wouldn't have been so bad if we weren't WELL INTO THE 90s! LOL. It pretty much just cut on and did nothing else, but I appreciated the sentiment and the people that wanted to support my budding technological curiosity!

    Later, I would become the "De Facto Tech Support Specialist" for my school once they brought computers on campus, and that was cool as it eventually led to me becoming the Editor of our Newspaper since there weren't lots of people who could work seamlessly on Macs and PCs (at that time).

    I probably didn't BUY my first computer until we were well into the 21st Century, since I worked in Tech Support and always had access to work computers. I now look back at my first computer (that still works) as if it's an old friend! ROFL.
