I had a commodore 64, with a tape drive that played games.
It was the biggest piece of junk ever, but it was fun for what I used it for. My first REAL computer was a Gateway, that came with a 15" monitor, 20 gig hard drive, and 512mb of ram. Back in the AOL dial up days.

It was my parent's - Macintosh (OS 8 maybe? Don't recall exactly anymore), I think an 8GB HD, probably 256 or 512mb of RAM. Did have a CD drive, as well as the 4.5" floppy. To think we used to store picture albums on floppy discs... LOL Now I couldn't even fit 1/4 of a picture on one!
We got into the computer field late.

I remember sharing porn collections with friends. Hundreds of 3.5" floppies getting passed around lol. Splitting short video clips over multiple floppies and having to unzip and combine the parts to watch it lol.
