Wow... How technology changes!

I found this and thought I'd share it with you!

This is an advert for the first PC I ever used. Not my own PC, it was the families, but it was the first one I ever used. I must have been about 3 or 4 when I first started using it. I even found the first piece of software I ever used, a Bob the Builder game!

Ahh, fond memories.....

Note the date of the advert - Friday March 23rd 2001

Although.... I have used older computers. For example, I've got 2 of these lying around - both in working order

So, what's the oldest PC you own?

I do have a ZX81 in the loft which I had given to me about 15 years back. It still works fine itself but the power adaptor is not quite kicking out the right power, I also have the tape recorder and leads to go with it and a few bits of software (although I cannot remember what titles offhand.) In my teens I was a proud spectrum owner, at the time when I bought it, they had just phased out the 16k and introduced the 48k machine. In later years I moved on to the Amiga, first owning an Amiga 600 then advancing to an Amiga 1200 at which point I upgraded the machine with the introduction of a hard drive, luxury! My first IBM compatible machine was a Pentium P150 loaded with Windows 95.

Stephen, imagine how much I feel technology has changed. I had the first PC ever made by IBM back in the early eighties.

IBM Personal Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of my favorite 80s TV shows depicted a college nerd who tried to impress a girl by telling her he had a 400 MB hard drive in his PC. :lol:
