I could not recall mine because I knew nothing about computer, 1996.  Since I knew nothing about computer, my uncle who is my step mother's brother tricked me badly and sold his to me.  He finished his BA at the time and I just finished high school.  It actually costed about $300.00 but he sold to me for $1,000 at that time.  A year later, I found out and I felt so bad.  Even right now, I still feel bad when I think about it.

I remember it well. It was a HP with a 166 MHZ MMX Intel Pentium Processor with 128 MB ram and a 10 GB hdd. My parents bought it for 2,000 back in 1996. It was awesome. I remember taking it to the dorms and using it with the T3 connection there. I pirated a bunch of games and emulators with it. I played Warcraft 2 a bunch with it.

Built my own IBM XT clone with CGA colors running DOS to download porn from BBSs with some sub-14K baud modem!!  Carol Alt ruled those days!  What a waste of $$$ then.

mine?

An IBM Aptiva. 66mhz with 4mb of RAM, later upgraded to 8mb. Had a 2x cd-rom drive and diskette drive. featured an integrated VGA video card. Ran Windows 3.1 and DOS.

must say it holds a special place in my heart. played plenty of fun games on it. Command&Conquer, Warcraft 2, Syndicate Wars. Plus it helped me learn how to navigate DOS. Must say we take copy+paste sooo much for granted these days. haha.

Amiga 500, don't even know the CPU speed. But it only had 512K RAM, now that's old school.

Played my first PC game on that thing too. But this thing was more of the family comp than mine.

My official first comp was some Dell from 2002. Intel P4 1.8 Ghz, 512MB RAM, 60GB Hard Drive, and only an Integrated Graphics Card.

I agree with you on that. $300 even for a use computer was a steal.


You can't get a computer back in 1996 for $300.  Back then a computer went anywhere from 1k-2.5k brand new.  My computer and it was low-mid range was 1.5k.

Compac Presario back in 96.  Didn't really touch it till 2000.  Napster was the shit.  That 56k connection and the sounds it made.  Emulators galore.

I got my first desktop computer when I received sufficient amount of financial aid from community college.

Not my picture. I'm showing as it similar to mine.
The brand and model was Hewlett Packard 1998
