The machine could not hold data, so no need for a tape to back it up. You booted, inserted floppy disk and ran programs. No hard disk drive

But I remember seeing PCs that had massive ribbons (like a cinema spool of celluloid) to function as memory banks like a floppy. That amazed me, the concept of pc data on a stream like magnetic ribbon. Anyway, I'm going off topic. Soz

First computer I don't really know, parents bought it for the whole family. 486 I think? With MS DOS 5 and WP 5.1, and Supaplex and Q-BASIC, if I remember correctly.

Oldest was an old HDD-less one my teacher gave me. Ran only MS-DOS 2 or older, which was hard to come by by then and had two (the luxury!) floppy drives (5 1/4 of course). However cool that was, it was so useless I didn't spent a lo of tme behind it :). I had no linux/unix experience back than o/c.

No idea what it was but it was one of the old ones (C64 style old) and it played space invaders & kong. I was so young I barely remember it. (I think the games were cartridges)

Custom built PC from a company called iNet (my parents first computer) Win 98, 64 mb of ram, and a 400 mhz processor (I want to say Pentium II)

Eventually we put an additional DiMM of ram in the machine for a grant total of 192 mb of ram, and loaded XP on the machine (which I tweaked for maximum performance) the sucker ran pretty fast after tweaking of course we never connected it to the internet or installed updates so that may have something to do with it :P

Lol, to all of you guys I'm gonna seem like a youngster!
Mine was a desktop dell running Windows XP. It wasn't mine, it was my dad's (he is a writer), and all he really used it for was his hotmail and Microsoft Word. We had an older version of Word though, developed for Win98. Sometimes, my dad would let me type gibberish of the keyboards, and change all the fonts and sizes and stuff. This was the age of 'Cyberchase', the kids show of PBS kids. I watched that show every day at 5, and loved it. That's where I first heard about hackers, the bad guy in the show was called hacker, and I asked my dad what it meant. So anyway, one day I changed the font to Wingdings, made it 72pt., and then colored it pink and I though I was the most ultimate computer professional ever. Man, I loved that computer. We still have it, but it's disconnected and under my desk. I'm thinking of taking it apart and giving it some new RAM and new HDD, and running Backtrack on it.
