OMG, nice glasses.
Here's what I had (not exactly but almost) in 1989 : http://www.zianet.com/kromeke/pastc...n/tandy_286.jpg
Specs: 8 MHz, 286 CPU, 640K RAM
CGA Monitor, 720Kb 3.5" Floppy Drives
104 Key Keyboard, Five Expansion Slots
Mine was a little bit less advanced (I think my parents bought it in 1988) but you get the point.

#2, Tandy 286, with 5" floppy drive, 16 color monitor, Gravis 2-button joystick, 1-button mouse and Epson loud-as-hell b&w printer. I remember playing Stunt, Police Quest I, Sopwitt, Shamus, etc...

I only knew apple I's and II's until 1992. Then in Ottawa my class had a 286 and a 386. 1993 my family got a Leading Edge 486 25, then 1994 we got a 486 66.

In middle school, we had Apple II's and the computer lab had just gotten new IBM's I believe.

My first computer was a Vic-20 back in 1982, then a Commodore 16 and then a Commodore 64. Had some kind of Tandy in the late 80s and got my first "real computer" in 1991. Windows 3.1, 386, 4 megs of RAM and a 220 meg hard drive. It cost over $2000 and probably a wristwatch has more computing power today... :) I connected to local bulletin boards with a 300 baud modem.
Since then it's been upgrade, upgrade, upgrade the whole time and now I've got a Dual-core 3.2 Pentium, 2 gigs of memory on the board, a 7800GL vid card with 256 megs, an X-Fi soundcard with 256 megs, over 500 gigs of storage on 3 hard drives and a cable internet connection at 4000/386.
But somehow it's not as much fun as it was in the old days...

#11, Before the 5.25s, they even had like 7.5" disks. I've never seen one in person, though.
Our first PC was a 286/12 with a working turbo switch ;) and a 40MB HDD. It had both types of floppy drives that were common at the time, 5.25" and 3.5".
