I remember the Comodor 64's. That was the very first computer I ever used. My brother had one. Later on he got a Tandy. They were for his business, so I was only allowed to play games on them at certain times. My first computer was an off brand PC in the early 90's. It operated in DOS. Wow...that's a trip to remember. Has it really been 25 years that I've owned a computer? Oh my!

I have been using the computer since 1996. It started out with PC and when I was in college I was using the computer all the time because I working helpdesk for the students and faculty. In 2005, I bought an used Mac for 300 dollars but did not do to much with it, In 2006 I bought another Macintosh to use so that I can be familiar with what the faculty and students ask when we work the helpdesk.

First I started using PC in 1992. I took a computer course learning all those DOS commands, Doskey, Dosshell and Norton Commander. Then there was Windows 3.12 if I remember well - a revolutionary change for a user! Since that time I have been using PC at home and for work.

I've been using a PC since I was in elementary school. My class used to always play educational games on there. Like Math Munchers, Word Munchers, Carmen San Diego, Oregon Trail, etc. Those were the days... :) But the first time I had my own computer was in middle school.
