i firstused a computer when i was in the fourth grade, and we had a computer class for the first time. that was in 94 or 95 and I have no idea what kind of computer it is because all we did was play these typing speed games and make silly bookmarks that were printed in Dot Matrix printers. I loved the noise that kind of printer makes! And when I think about how, back then, a picture is printed line by line, I cant help but be amazed at just how much technology has gone.

I remember using a Commodore 64 and helping my father with his police reports on it, back when I was a teenager. In the 80's sometime.

I used the first computer in a computer shop. It was a commodore and I still remember playing a football game called kick off. At that time it was a very exciting experience, even though the graphics were very rudimentary compared with nowadays sophisticated graphics.

I used my first computer in 1983, it was a fotran 20, I used the computer to analyse my data for my post graduation thesis. I feel possibly no youngster of today must be having any idea about that computer. The computer was installed in a big hall and several people used to work on the computer. We had to punch the cards separately on a punch machine to enter our data, which was listed by separate machine to counter check the data and then along with the program, which was again punched on the cards we used to feed the computer to get the results. Tjis bid computer never had any monitor ? Is N't it funnuy ?

It was long ago, maybe 16 years back. It was an IBM pc XT with dos operating system. A hardisk is an expensive gadget. 1 double density floppy disk can fit all your works including the operating system. There's no fancy graphics only either green or white monitor. And the price is expensive too.
