The very first computer I got was a Commodore C64. It wasn't a Microsoft Windows and PC but I got it because I was asked what I wanted more for Christmas once in the middle of the 90's a PC or a games console. I think when the first gen games consoles came out like the Sega Megadrive or the Nintendo 64. And while I did want to do what most people my age back then wanted to do and play Sonic the Hedgehog and Mariokart with my mates, I wanted to be a desktop publisher and leave school/college with some degrees and qualifications in IT. So I decided on the Commodore C64 PC in the end. Mainly because I already used to spend time round my friends house and play on their similar (but often debated to be better) Spectrum ZX81 and playing games like Outrun, Golden Axe and Double Dragon, Paperboy and Chuckie Egg for years already. Do you remember playing those games?
So I figured, I can play games on it and learn desktop publishing with it and take over the world with it at the same time. Oh boy was I in for a surprise. Sometimes I ended up wishing I'd just got a console instead. The first Commodore C64 didn't work. After waiting about 2 months for a new one, I never really got much use of it, if it didn't crash when loading games, I had to sit through 20 minutes of screeching and squelching only for the game to not load properly and then repeat the whole process over and over again about 5 times before the game loaded properly. If you remember this I got respect for you.
As for learning desktop publishing with it, well it was only when I got my first Windows PC (An IBM something I think) that came with Windows 98 before I was even able to open a simple file! After this, my learning increased substantially and I started created and selling business and personality cards printed out on my simple printer to my class mates at school (amongst other things). Then 5+ years later computers, desktops and laptops got a bit better. But it's been with a Windows OS and a desktop PC I've had my most success with. These days I use an allinone touchscreen desktop PC which has like 16GB RAM and 80TB HDD or something.
So yeah, that's my story of how I got to where I am today haha! I'm not asking you to leave a big story like mine and walk me down memory lane unless you have one.
But what was the first computer you got or which one was your favorite?

My old memory lol you speak about your own memory like its a hdd or something haha! That's great, wish my parents would have given me 2000 to buy a computer! Or did you mean that was in the year 2000? Operation system windows. I've never heard it called that before! But I do remember the early days of Pentium computers! And yes! I have spent many many hours until the early hours of the morning tinkering with my OS. Errm, you know what I mean I hope! :D

My family has had computers for a while, but I never owned one by myself. I purchased my first one around 10 years ago and I got it from overstock.com which was a horrible idea. It was a horrible idea because after I purchased I was asked if I wanted to buy a type of insurance deal for 2 years and I was like "Hell Yeah I Do!" so I paid an extra $79 for it and was covered from basically any malfunction for 2 years because I bought the best insurance package they offered me.
Fast forward about a year and the charger fried as well as my battery. I got a hold of overstock and they wouldn't accept my insurance purchase because it was a year old.... yeah, I purchased a 2 year warranty and this thing fried after just a year. They kept giving me the run around and eventually said it was my own fault that the battery went bad, I was furious.
I purchased a new charger that was a universal one with about a dozen charger tips that I could swap out for different types of laptops if I needed to, I also bought a new battery and just popped it in. So now I paid for the laptop $600, paid for the additional warranty $79, paid for a new charger $90, paid for a new battery $50 - $60 (don't remember the exact price). So basically I paid $826 for a laptop that wasn't too fancy
I now build my own desktops and only purchase brand spanking new laptops. I've only ran into one problem since that first purchase, and it was just my hard drive deciding it wanted to fry itself
Anyone else have a good or bad story? Oh man, I actually think I still have my first computer still :D It was a dell laptop and I can't remember the windows version, but I do know I didn't hate it like I hate windows 10 lol :D My family has had computers for a while, but I never owned one by myself.

I've only ran into one problem since that first purchase, and it was just my hard drive deciding it wanted to fry itself :( But that was a quick fix since I had an extra hard drive laying around and had backed up my files on an external hard drive a few weeks prior because my laptop was acting up :D Anyone else have a good or bad story?
