What was your first computer

Apple II+ 48K w/3 Floppy Drives and an Microsoft CP/M card

Great computer at the time (pre-IBM clone, pre-Mac).

Reason for three floppies you ask?

Drive #1 for source (6502 .ASM) files
Drive #2 for header files (since they wouldn't all fit on Drive #1)
Drive #3 for object code and executable

No hard drives were available at the time (or if there were they cost more than your house). Hard drives are for mama's boys.


Still can't believe I actually developed on that thing

Compaq Presario. Had Win95 on it.

It had a HUGE hardrive of 10mb. :p

Win95 would not fit on a 10 MB drive.

My first computer was a 486 DX2-66 w/ 8 MB of ram. I use it to run my HFT algorithms on a direct dial-up connection to the exchange.

The first one I used was in the 70's in 6th grade. Commodre 64 I believe. I'll never forget my Stepdad buying a Mac in 86-87 with the little porthole window for $1200. State of the art at the time.

Your memory must be better than mine. All I remember is that it was a Compaq Presario with Win95 on it and I bought it from Computer City. Had a 17" monitor and cost about 2k.

If it wasn't a 10mb drive, then what do you think it was? Maybe 12? I know it was really small. Came with a 14k modem!
