I was born before internal hard drives were invented...but really didn't have a computer before the ten GB hard dirve was invented, or the 500 MHz processor came out...

I can do long division, however. And Calculus. Without a computer.

IN YO FACE OLDIES!! j/k! lol

My first computer was a Commodore 64 with a tape player... man you needed patience back then... it was acctually pretty good because you could read a book, even do your homework, while the games were loading

I didn't hear about the Internet until 1994, and I didn't fully understand the concept until about year later... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh and if I see someone write like that "Leet" crap I ignore it, just shake my head and hope they will be run over by a car... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Talk about old! My very first PC was a custom built 22MHz 286 PC with 2 MB RAM (or was it 1 MB?) and a 40 MB seagate HDD. The damn HDD would produce the irritating scratching sound whenever it is doing some reading and writing.

Oh, since soundcard was very much "optional" those days, I played games on PC speaker or with no sound.

my first computer ever, and i guess this isn't that old but it makes me feel nostalgic, was when I was in 3rd grade we got a computer fro mmy school that would play number-munchers on floppydisk....and that was it...I'm glad to see how far we've progressed from that
