The first computer I ever worked on was an IBM system for which I never learned the model. It was owned by our county school corporation, and each of the five public high schools in Evansville, Indiana hade one time-share terminal connected to it. That was the one I did my very first programming on, in about 1976.

The first general purpose computer I ever had was a Commodore VIC-20, which was really just a "toy" version of the C-64. That was in 1982, or early '83, as I recall.

The first real computer I ever owned that could actually accomplish something was an AT&T 7000 series personal computer that ran Unix with a monochrome monitor and a whopping 20 Mb hard drive. That was in 1986 or thereabouts.

Ah, the good ol' days.
