My first computer was purchased let’s see I think it was in late 1999 or 2000 when everyone was worried about Y2K. It was a Pavillion with Windows 98 and Intell processor.
I set it up in Plant City FL and tossed in an AOL disk any of this sound familiar :)
Big heavy screen, tall tower and a keyboard that plugged in, as well as 2 separate speakers that also plugged in. I finally got rid of it at a local Staples store and nope did not bother to destroy or empty it, oops.
Now I own a Lenovo which I love.
It was Huge and Heavy

My first computer was a ZX81 Spectrum which I bought in 1981. It had a rubber keyboard and all external communication was done via a tape recorder.
Wow, imagine that!
