Neighbor had an Apple IIc and my best friend later got the IIe. I was jealous.
When did you first encounter a computer?

Probably around the early 90's. My dad had a huge IBM set up in the basement that I believe only ran DOS. I used to love typing things and printing them out (on the paper with the little holes on the sides!)

The late 80's my dad bought me a Kpro "portable" was the size of a large suitcase and the key board clipped on. Yes, Floppy disks!

1982, IIRC. My mom used one at her work and one evening I hung out with her while she did some other work. It was an Apple. There were a couple of games on it and I played them while she did her filing (or whatever it was). I remember I figured out how to use it right away and I was SHOCKED to realize I'd spent three hours playing the games when Mom said she was ready to go. Not much has changed in some ways!

We are on our 6th PC. It's time for an upgrade...or replacement.

My family's first home computer was a ColecoVision Adam.
And my first video game console was a Coleco Telstar Alpha.
You guess the year!

Dot matrix (the printer). DOS was common on every IBM computer until about the early 90's. Windows had been released in '85, but no one could afford it.

The year was 1986, I was 4 years old. My grandmother was a computer teacher at our local college and I was taught that I put in the big floppy disk and type g-o to make my game come on.

It was about 1984 when I first encountered a computer. It was part of my job and boy was I ever amazed with the technology, but of course it doesn't even scratch the surface with the technology we have today.
