My first proper PC was an Amstrad 1640 with DOS and I think I got Windows on it somehow, took me weeks.

My very first build was a standard emachine for a friend that bought it from eBay but it came in separate components for a fairly cheap price (70 pounds i think) because the seller couldn't rebuild it (we all know its easier to take things apart then to build them) , i got a phone call around a year ago and was offered 20 pound to set up a desktop and that triggered me off.

The first computer I used was a Prime mini. They ground to a halt when about 30 users were logged on. They had less processing power than a 486 based PC and ran a text-based interface. The terminal was a teletype, later a mono screen.
