What year did you first own a Computer?

I remember I was like 10 or 11 and we had an old Compaq. I used to play Carmen Sandiego on it

 

I loved that game.

 

I had a TI-99/4A (Texas Instruments) back in the early 80's. I can't remember it being good for too much other than playing chess, but I suspect I had other games with it...

 

I used to have one where I put in a tape casette and it would play games. Don't remember what it was called but it was pretty cool.

This was back in the mid-80s

 

around '94

I remember we first got the internet in 1996. I remember just because the summer Olympics were in Atlanta and that's all the internet consisted of back then: 4 pages of Dominique Moceanu fan pages and then yahoo.com.

Chat rooms were the thing then.

 

I remember my friend had this computer back in the late 80s and it played Leisure Suit Larry on floppy disk. That game was tripped out, you could buy a prostitute, drink and smoke.

Carmen San Diego was fun too. Did y'all ever see the game "Freedom" on the old Apple computers? It was about a runaway slave. And they had it at my school here in Texas in the 80s.

The Oregon Trail was my s)!+

 

Computer in 94, internet in 96. Amazing how much has changed...

 

My first computer was bought in like 96 at Sears, but it never got opened til 99 (just in time for Y2K).

I actually had an old Macintosh that sat on a desk collecting dust my entire time in elementary school. It had real floppy disks that were 6x6 or something huge. The only thing it did was word processing. So if I wanted at 7 years old I could type something up.

 

any chance you remember the monitor having the letters VLMF in 1" block lettering on the front face of it?
