I never understood how people could spend so much on a computer made by compaq or packard bell. My first PC that was my own was a 486DX4 100 with 8MB of RAM in 1993-1994. I bought it at a computer show for like $1000.00 (even back then I knew not to buy retail).

I think my first upgrade was a Diamond Monster 3d video card with 4MB of RAM on it, for like $200.00!!

My first actual computer was a Tandy 3 Color that I had during the 80's thanks to my mother being a computer geek in the military.

I'm only 23 yet I've had computers in the household my whole life, now that I think about it I don't remember really not having a computer. Which is unusual for people born in the late 70's, early 80's.
