First computer

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

My first touch to a computer was when when I was 5 maybe 6 years old. At that time there was one Pravetz 8M (link in bulgarian) at my father's office, primary used as calculator.
<offtopic>
Later my father and few of his co-workers was sent to learn B.A.S.I.C., so they can use it more effectively.
After a while, in the home library, appeared about 20-30 books about B.A.S.I.C. and Pravetz computers from which I was started to learn. And I offten went to his office to apply my "knowledge" on this computer.
<offtopic-within-the-offtopic>
When I asked my father for something, he often pointed to a part of or library and says:
" Do you see them? I've read them all!"
...So when these books appeared, I've asked him: "Father, what are these books about ?"
Guess what he answered me :)

... After this there was a big "no-PC" hole.

Later in 2003 mom and my brother, decided to buy one:

Athlone XP 2000+ 1.66GHz
256 MB RAM (now: 768MB)
40 GB HDD (now: 120 GB)
Ati Radeon 9200 SE 64MB
(still using it)

But that wasn't my first PC.

<finaly>

My first PC (100% mine) is one, that I bought 2 years later (summer 2005):
(laugh at will)

Pentium 2 350MHz
128 MB RAM
6 GB HDD
4 MB video (I don't remember model)
assembled by Compaq
(mom use it now)

</finaly>

Ooops.. this post became a bit longer :oops:

Yes. If it wasn't the version with even less RAM. :wink:
