Okay I just have to pipe up because no one has mentioned one of my first computers...
Vic 20 -- in high school I saw a barrel of these at an electronics' store for $20 each, as is ADAM [by Colecovision] -- Who would have thought of a game system add-on that was actually a computer with applications [word processor, spreadsheet, database, and BASIC--loaded from the tape drive]. IBM PC -- I dig those cast iron keyboards, but I hope to never see another device that is 4.77MHz [in "turbo"] 486DX/33MHz, 4MB RAM, 127MB HDD -- I was the envy of my neighborhood with this hot rod. It was my $3000 HS graduation present! I later added a tape backup, a sound card and a CD-ROM [2x]. 8088 Laptop -- Just for taking notes in college with a cheesy DOS text editor. --- That is all of my retired computers. My current ones are so weak I will not embarrass myself here [or perhaps I already have :) ].
