I knew nothing about it but it sucked. I couldn't even browse the internet with it cause the screen was only 12" (I think). | |

60 GB storage,
what does it store?
enough music to listen to it for 2 months
a lot of pretty pictures
a lot of photo's that i will never show anyone
512 MB RAM
what does it remember? not much, like me
792 Mhz
I think that has something to do with bus-speed., dunno if its fast, but it works for me
mobile AMD Sempron processor 3000+
my accu lasts for 3 hours tops.
Oh and I have covered it in orange rhinestones and mushimaro stickers 
oh and I can burn cd's and dvds and it has both wireless lan and

Posted: 3/26/2005 8:33:29 AM | My first was the TRS-80 Colour Computer. It had a chiclet keyboard, cassette storage (a 5¼" drive cost hundreds), plugged into the TV, and it came out of the factory with 4 KB (not MB) of RAM -- we paid extra for the bigass upgrade to 32kb.
Pathetically, I was the first kid in school with a computer - not that we had the $ to throw around, but my interest was that high.
First system I got my hands on was my school's single TRS-80 Model I. A couple of years later, my high school had Apple ][ computers and some Commodore PETs. Scary thing was that, even with my limited experience at that point, I knew more than the "Computer Science" teacher who had just started learning the summer before. Yikes.
Nutty, how did you get a computer that came out the year you were born? | |

my dad bought it about a year after i was born (somewhere around that time anyways) ... we were a fairly poor family soo we couldn't upgrade till later on ... the atari 2600 was a gift from one of my aunts i think .... (veerry long time ago)
hell after the CC3 (which my dad still uses sometimes :S) we didn't upgrade again untill we bough a P133 from Seanix (with the exception of my grandfathers Atari X800 that he gave to me soo i could practice programming in BASIC ... something that lost its luster very quickly) | |

Posted: 3/27/2005 2:36:43 PM | Thanks, Now I feel really old.
My first was an Altair 8800 Intel 8080 processor - sold mail order by a tiny company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It’s cost as a kit was $397.
My second was a TRS80-Model I with 4kb memory and a cassette tape drive for storage.
since then, I've owned at least one or more of every micro-computer made.
Boy have we come a long way…
PS I still have the TRS80-Model I, along with a LNW-80, TRS-Model IV, and a Origional IBM-PC with the 'A' board. | |

Was a keyboard that could hook up to the tv. It had a blue screen and you could type stuff.
The first computer my parents had...you had to use punch cards. My dad, being so smart, ended up figuring out how to play solitaire on it..or was it pong? Anyway, he said you had to actually program it yourself.....lol | |

Posted: 3/28/2005 2:31:37 AM | I still have my first one and I know not much about it.
Dad is a DBA and builds them for me. When I want something added to it, or I change what i am using it for, he takes it, leaves me with his laptop (which is what I am currently using at home) and he tinkers with it. | |

Posted: 4/3/2005 4:02:42 AM | Mine was based on the Z80 chip.
Didn't have a "brand name" - you had to buy all the parts and circuit board to solder them onto.
However, I did have a whopping 1k memory - which was far too much really.
My monitor was an old 12" B&W TV
No programs you could "load" - if you ever did find a program which was written already - it was on a printout - type it in. It's good for the soul.
I wrote a lot in Forth - naturally compiled into machine language. Programs could be saved onto cassette tape - so my less than 1k programs rarely took more than 10 or 15 mins to load.
My first purchased (5th) computer was a Sinclair. Oh how NICE to be able to buy a program...
My 6th computer was a TRS-80 | |
