The first one that was actually mine, was an Intel 386 DX 33 based machine. Don't remember who made the board, but it had 2MB of ram (later had it up to 8MB!) and a 40MB Seagate hard drive. I also had it rocking the Sound Blaster 1.2, Wearens 2x cd player, and Trident 8900C graphics. For its day, it was beast!

I learned on a Kaypro 8088. Not my machine though. My dad still has that sucker - and it still works.

Commodore 64 with a whopping 64k of memory, with only 38,411k free after start up. Fried the motherboard and moved up to a Commodore 128 that also had a Z80 Processor and could run CP/M programs. Got the Commodore 64 in the Spring of '83. Still have the C-128 with all the periphials and a boatload of software ( mostly games; don'tcha just love those 8 bit graphics ? ) .

My first computer was a Commodore 128 (I bought in the mid eighties at Sears). I was using my Basic programming skills from classes I learned at a community college to create programs. I also had some games (Double Dragon, Dragon's Lair, and Centipede I think). I tried to compose music on it too (I was trying to program it to play "Axel F" but was having trouble finishing it).
I have no idea what happened to my Commodore 128 (I'm not sure if I sold it, or gave it away).

That's what I taught myself spreadsheets on (with Appleworks) although the IIe was my second computer. The first was an Amstrad running CP/M.

I think some of the first machines I used were Pentium 2s or 3s (I was really young at the time, and don't really remember). The first one that was actually mine though had a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 HT (478), 256MB DDR, 40GB WD Raptor, and an Nvidia Riva TNT2. I upgraded it over time, eventually upgrading the ram to 2GB (after upgrading to 1GB), a 250GB hard drive (after upgrading to a 100GB one), and a Geforce 6200. Then, in early 2010, I built the i5 machine I have now.

All kind of depends on how you define "your first ever computer".

The first computer that I ever used was a TSR-80. No floppy but rather a cassette tape drive to store stuff. Used it in grade school to do some basic programming.

The first computer that my family got was an Apple IIe with dual 5.25" floppy drives and an Apple monochrome (i.e. green lettering) monitor but also an RF modulator that allowed us to use it with a small color TV as well (used it with like a 9" color TV).

The first computer that I bought myself was an Apple Mac Quadra 840AV (I still have it sitting in a closet).

My first Windows computer that I bought myself was a Dell Dimension 6400 (I believe that is the right model number) with a PIII and an ATI Radeon AGP graphics card (later added a second ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder PCI graphics card for a second monitor) that was running Windows Me.

My first ever contact with a computer was in the 1980s and it was ZX Spectrum+. My first own computer was C64 II in the 1990s -> http://tinyurl.com/My-C64 but the monitor was different. I also had the Quick Joy joystick and Black Box v.2 cartridge.

Commodore 128 Early 80's

The first ever real computer I owned was a kit I bought. It was the Superboard 2, from Ohio Scientific. It was fun to put together. Based on the 6502 chip that later became the Apple first machine. Around the early 1970's, I bought it out of the QST amatuer radio magazine. Pointing devices were unheard of.
