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)
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!)
