What was your first computer?

[Nitorami]

My father bought me a Texas TI-57 for school, at around 1976. 100 program steps and no permanent storage, the program was lost upon turning power off. But it still works, except for the batteries of course.
When joining the university, I started with an 8086 IBM XT. I believe it was clocking at 4.77 MHz, the harddrive was 10MB.

[BasicOne]

Sharp MZ-700:

Z80 with audio cassette for firmware and applicatio loading.

We managed to burn eeproms via GPIO and then modified the boot loader to load the firmware and applications directly from eeproms.

The bundled language was Basic, but there was also Pascal available, i.e. it was my first contact to Pascal.

[Zoran]

It was ZX Spectrum 48K.

Another interesting question would be:
Who still has their first computer 

Mine ended up on the scrap heap a long time ago.

Mine too, probably... Last thing I remember is from the late eighties that it didn't work...
So, as I fell in love with it, and I haven't got it any more, I created an emulator in Free Pascal.

[Thaddy]

The C64 still lives and is used once or twice a year to play "manic miner". Some capacitors have been replaced, though. Quite amateur electronics friendly hardware. The disks have gone. Tape works, but not original. Cartridges work.
The two older ones were beyond repair and disappeared.

Mines were gone. All the C64 were selled and all the PC/XT too. I assembled one of the first PC/AT with an 80286, EGA an a color monitor some years after (1984/1985) and enjoy the first protected mode tests. The first Turbo Pascal under dos, and the ASM and C compiler from Microsoft (these two from unknown source ...  ) .

P.S.: only now I remember the various compilation model (compact, tiny, large) ....

I still have my '78 Micro Design Computer.  Memories of a wasted youth

I don't have my first computer, but I still have my 30 yearish old copy of BP7.

There is a battery mod for the T57 series. (It had a NiCad, and those do not last long)

Oh, and it has even a Rosetta code entry

Since it has no permanent storage, you had to memorize the programs.
I did so for compound interest, not realizing that because of writing the program I understood compound interest after all and there was no need to "cheat" at my exams.
At that point in time the surveillance at the exams were not yet aware about programmable calculators.
Calculators were allowed....

[LeP]

Several of my classmates had the TI57 (and one even had the TI59 with something to write the program, if I remember right). I, on the other hand, got the Casio PB100 as soon as it came out (I still have it somewhere).
And I drilled a hole in the chassis (there was a hidden button) that allowed access to some additional functions (which I now forget).

a 386 with DOS and Windows 3.11.

you are making me feel young

Computers? Had to write my very first Pascal lines on a sheet of paper
Well, just because there were not enough computers when writing a test in school. That was in 1991. One or two years later I owned a 286 with DOS 3.x on floppies, and Turbo Pascal. I believe I bought a 200 MB hard disk for quite much money for it. All gone since a long time.

[BodgerBen]

My first computer was also a ZX81, then Dragon 32, shortly followed by a 64 with OS9, Basic 09 and Pascal. Then an Amiga 500. PC's after that.

The first work machine I used was an ABS MX Mini computer from ABS Computers in Portslade, Sussex. Wyse terminals and leased lines between five sites, four having two terminals and the main site having four (I think). The language used was Cobol ish, called Simple 7E.

Then a Burroughs B900, and that's when we got the first IBM XT's. Coding was DBase (dunno how many versions) then Clipper, Delphi, C#...

Computers? Had to write my very first Pascal lines on a sheet of paper

When I had my VIC-20, I wrote assembly language on a piece of paper before entering it into the machine

Entering it was such a hassle (no easy editor) that it was easier to first write a program on paper.

[CM630]

Правец 8Ц with a СМ630 CPU. I still have it, but some of the keys are broken and missing, luckily I have another one that works.
There were UCSD and Instant Pascal for it, but they served no practical use.  One or two years ago I came across info that there was Kyan Pascal, which could make binary files, but I have not tried it.
Nobody sold Commodores here (I had no idea they existed until a few years ago and I still have never seen one), probably because they were too expensive, but I know people, who had Sinclair Spectrums.

[JordanCpp]

My first PC.
Processor: 386sx 33 mhz
6 mb ram
512 kb video card

DOS and Windows 3.1
I even managed to install Windows 95

I played my favorite game, Colonization 1994
