I've been *using* personal computers since the Apple II days, but the first one I *owned* was a Tandy 1000 286 8mhz with da swith, I mean turbo button. It had 1meg of ram and a 20meg hdd on a card (never filled that one up either). It was equipped with a 5.25 and 3.5" floppy, both standard capacity, not those new fangled high capacity ones (760k on the 3.5) and a 2400bps modem. I used the modem to dial ever BBS I could find.
The monitor was a 16 color Tandy job (which delivered as good if not better games graphics than my friend's SVGA monitor), the printer was a noisy 9pin dot matrix (I think it had a red and black ribbon). My suitemates in college loved it when I'd print a research paper early in the morning.
I played the original Civilization for hours on that machine. Of course, it was so slow that it took nearly an hour to create a new world each time you started a new game.
I ran DOS 5.0 on it till I replaced it with a Pentium 75 running Win3.11 and later OS/2, and then even later, Win95.
