I was in highschool, and the thing was a brick. It actually still works! It has many issues though, mostly overheating and shutting off randomly. I gave it to my SIL as a backup computer for when her (also very old) laptop crashes. oliviaoblivia on "What was your first computer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-first-computer#post-529347 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 18:57:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 529347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My first personal computer (not shared with my family) was the original iMac.

I remember finding it in a magazine and circling it, and putting it in his lunch box for work as a hint that I wanted it. He ended up buying it since we had never owned a computer before that. mrbee on "What was your first computer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-first-computer#post-529327 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 18:45:10 +0000 mrbee 529327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got a clone of an IBM PC when I was in second grade. Well, it wasn't actually mine, but my dad let me use it when he wasn't using it himself. That thing changed my life! I learned how to program, and generally found lots of enjoyment tinkering with the computer. I guess not much has changed. What was your first computer?
