    Rebound this shot with a picture of your first computer.

    EDIT: Make it all designery so people don't whine about Dribbble shots that look like crap... which is essentially what all computers from the 80s/90s look like.

    (note: this wasn't our family's first computer, just the first one I really started using heavily in and around the year 1996)

    My first computer, circa 1983.

    I spent a lot of time playing Karateka, LodeRunner and Adventure on this thing.

    Yeah. Took 50 floppy discs to transfer one game from my neighbours computer to mine. Spent a day on it :)

    Macintosh II: 1987

    The Mac II technically wasn't my first computer. My first computer was the original Mac, but this is the first one I really have memories sitting down using. I'd spend hours getting pissed off playing Prince of Persia, vectoring in Freehand, and later painting in Photoshop when my dad got it a couple of years later.

    I created a Mac II icon out of Susan Kare's color Mac icon because well... the Mac II had support for glorious 32-bit color. :D

    My first ever computer was HP Vectra which ran @ 90 MHz (Pentium I), had 32 MB of EDO RAM, and 1.1 GB SCSI harddisk. It used Windows 98 SE as main OS (was it the year 2000? 2001?). However, I don't think I can find an image of it anywhere... :(

    It used a modem for Internet connection, the average speed was ~ 28 kbps, and Hotmail main page (Inbox) was loading approximately a couple of minutes... :)

    The computer is long gone, of course, but oh! the memories... :)))

    My family got this sometime around 1998-1999. I played a lot of Diablo II, downloaded stuff via Napster, and learned how to use Photoshop in order to make CD labels for my friends. All over a 56K connection. Ballin'.

    The specifications for this particular model were:

    Pentium II 400MHz
    64 MB PC-100 SDRAM
    12 GB HDD
    DVD-ROM (we thought that was amazing)
    ATI 3D RAGE Pro Turbo - 4 MB SGRAM
    15"Monitor @ 1024x768 ("Flat Screen", oh my!)
