Title: Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer?
Author: help@slashdot.org

We've recently seen stories about old computers and sys-ops resurrecting 1980s
BBS's, but now an anonymous reader has a question for all Slashdot readers:
Whenever I meet geeks, there's one question that always gets a reaction: Do you
remember your first home computer? This usually provokes a flood of fond
memories about primitive specs -- limited RAM, bad graphics, and early versions
of long-since-abandoned operating systems. Now I'd like to pose the same
question to Slashdot's readers. Use the comments to share details about your
own first home computer. Was it a back-to-school present from your parents? Did
it come with a modem? Did you lovingly upgrade its hardware for years to come?
Was it a Commodore 64 or a BeBox? It seems like there should be some good
stories, so leave your best answers in the comments. What was your first home
computer?
