Was an old system my father bought from the city. It was Windows 98 (I think it was SE but I don't remember). It had a P1 processor on it and I remember it couldn't run Windows Media Player without stuttering. I used Winamp for a media player and it would stutter every once in awhile (in which i would restart and fix it). We got on the Internet with dial up (which I remember getting yelled at several times to get off the Internet).
Pretty sure the good ol' techies are gonna laugh at this and call it a joke (which I wouldn't blame them).

First computer at home I remember was a Gateway (RIP) computer. It had Windows 95 and I used to play Freddie Fish on a CD-ROM and go on pokemon.com to listen to the music on there. Simple times
I don't even remember the specifics... the thing did run Windows 95 though. I spent all my time on MS Paint and had my own floppy drive to save my images to; that is, until I discovered AOL and the internet XD

My first computer was an Apple Commadore. I used a program to draw a boat at a dock. After that I figured I did everything there was to do on that fancy device. It wasn't till few years later I got a home built tower behemoth of a thing from someone who liked building and doing computer-y things gave me. It ran at a blistering 22MHz and had the Windows DoS on it with a fractal program and an early copy of SimCity. I'd tinker with that thing for hours.
First one was a very powerful new Dell XP desktop. Had a nice Celeron and could do most stuff very nicely. I have it in the attic atm. Mind you this thing cost €2000 back then :3
HP Pavilion, around 1995. It had Windows 95 and either a 166MHz or 266MHz Pentium 1 processor (single core 0.16 or 0.26 GHz for you youngins). Also, just 32 MB (0.03 GB) of RAM, 3 GB hard drive, 28.8k dial-up modem (maximum of 0.0288 Mbps download speed). We later upgraded it to Windows 98, the RAM to 96MB, and added a 14GB hard drive. I had it until 2002. Played a lot of old games like NASCAR Racing 2, Sierra Pro Pilot, The Sims 1, SimCity 2000, Age of Empires 2, Graal Online.
It had a screen very similar to this one:
But the case looked more like this:
Around 2004 I put in a 40GB hard drive with Windows XP and used it as a server for a small website for my friends. It actually ran Photoshop 6.0 pretty decently too.
I had (and do still have) a big boxy computer, we have a new screen for it now but the actual computer is still from 2003 or around there (probably older) and I remember when I first got Minecraft the cows and all the GUIs were textureless because it had so little space on it (we don't use it anymore)

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king
My first one was a Windows XP form 2001. Not really a good computer, it's slow as heck. My dad throwed it away early 2013. I hated my old computer. Sucks really bad.
And i think it's dusty.
There was a program on there called Mac Arcade that was awesome. Also did me some Oberin and some RPG called Mars. Played some Boom, Flashback... It was a cool thing.

Here is a write-up on the specific model:

And then XP was released a year later.

Mine was maybe a bit darker shade of blue.

It died to a power surge during a thunder storm.
