How many computers have you owned since you started using computers?   

Since the day that I own a computer, I think that I have already used at least four of them. Our computer will help us in many ways, like reports, presentations, research and including earning online money. I know that as time passes by, I can still be buying a computer in the future when my present computer will decide to give up the ghost in itself!

Let's see, my very first computer ran on an Intel 386DX processor, then I upgraded it to 486DX, then AMD K6 (I think), then Pentium III, then I started using a notebook that runs on AMD Duron, and now I'm using Athlon Dual-Core. The brands I've owned are IBM-PC compatibles and Compaq (both my notebooks). The brand I've used are Gateway, IBM (only once), Dell, HP and Acer.

So I've actually lost count ... :)

I now have my third computer, I had one it was a old computer, given to me by my sister, and I had it upgraded and when that computer went down, I brought me a laptop computer, and when that computer went down, I brought me a ACER computer this compter I have now, it is the best computer, out of the other two I have had.

Wow...thinking back on my computers makes me giggle. The first one my family had (I didn't own) was an old DOS computer that's older than I am, I'm sure. It was a really bad computer. Only good to play very limited games on, which is all we ever used it for. And then my mother, the computer programmer, managed to delete Windows off of it, so that ended our games until she put it back on. xD

The second computer I ever used was my grandfather's. He got it in 2000 and it was like a revelation from the old DOS. This one actually had INTERNET and that was the first time I used it...lol. It had Windows 98 on it. I think it was a Dell, but I'm not sure. That lasted for quite a while, too.

The first computer I really owned is the one I'm on now. I bought it last year for college. It's a Dell Laptop (Inspiron 1525) wich Intel core 2 duo and Windows Vista. :) I love this computer.

I'm about to get a new one, too. Well, kind of. Technically this one is my husband's computer, but it's half mine, too. ;) It's our gaming computer. He wanted an alien, but we're settling with a Dell because it's about $1,000 cheaper for what we wanted. :)

only one

Boy I'm feeling old reading all these comments. I can't even count how many computers, I've had. My first was an Apple II back around 1981. No hard drives back then, you booted your OS off a floppy, that is if you were lucky enough to have a floppy and didn't still use cassettes. I was the cool one of my friends because I had two floppy drives and didn't have to swap out my OS disk to run other programs. Wow, the good old days. So let's see, Apple II, Apple IIe, Apple IIc, then my first x86 chipset with the 386, then a 486, 486dx2, 486 dx4. So seven before I got my first Pentium level chip computer.

I like to response this discussion that I have tried to remember on past. My first PC, I just build my own. It was running with Jetway Motherboard, AMD CPU, 64 Mbyte of RAM, 7 GByte of Harddisk and OS - Windows 98. Then I just buy Used Compaq PC from My Friend, It is running with Pentium 4, memory 1 Gbyte, 80 Gbyte harddisk, SVGA Nvidia card 128, Creative Sound Blaster, Philips LCD 18", and OS - Windows Xp Home. Then I am buying local brand laptop - BYON, with Celeron, 512 MByte, 80 Gbyte Harddisk, and OS - Windows Xp Home. Recently, I am buying used laptop from ebay, IBM Thinkpad R51 running with Pentium M - CPU, 1 Gbyte of RAM, 60 Gbyte Harddisk and OS - Windows Xp Professional. Totally are 2 Desktop PC and 2 Laptops.

I've owned... oh... 7 including my laptop that broke and I personally never got to use. 3 desktops i've owned have been fried during lightining storms because my parents didn't disconnect the phone line (back when that was the only form of internet) and now I have an old laptop from 2000 or so stored back away with a wireless card for my parents to use, the broken laptop is in my closet for spare parts (like it's small ram cards for laptops or it's power charger) gave my dad one of my two towers to use at his "home away from home" trailer and my gaming tower pc (just modded my case from the "nice" one to a better air cooled case that was older, no need for as many fans now) and that sums up all my pcs, I don't rem the specs of any of them, including the tower I'm using right now, but this one is the only one worth even noting.

Ya thats great you started your journey from 1997 and Experienced 5 computer models with different technology. Good and also using newer one. But I have only one computer and from many years I am using that old one.

I think I've owned 4 or 5 in the past ten years. I can't recall before that time period.
