I started with a 8086 (XT) in 1988. Had a CGA monitor which looked like a microwave oven with the buttons on the side.

I think it was a 286, and I bought it from where I worked for about forty dollars. It had the enticing green and black screen, and had too little memory to have Windows so it was a Dos only job. At the moment I'm still only using a 200 mhz pentium. However, *ta rah!* I'm about to buy a new laptop. :Brain:

I had a 386 laptop that refused to work with its own display, so we had to hook a full-sized monitor up to it. It had DOS 5.0 with DOS Shell.
I think I still have it around somewhere...

My first computer was an MSX. Not sure what year it was but it was quite a few years after the thing was origionally released.

I can clearly remember this:
1995 - My parents were tricked into buying a PC to assist them in their jobs.This was what my brother told them.In fact they were buying it only so we could play games on it.It was then when i fell in love with DOS, and it's games.It was a 386, the absolute best you could get at that time here.I remember the way it went perfectly.I remember where the store was, how much it cost( 1 million lei-romanian currency, which by today's dollar value would mean something like 30 bucks )
