The first one I wrote programs on was an IBM System 3 model 8, I think.

I didn't own one until 9 years later, a Heathkit H-8.

2 MHz 8080 with 20 K of memory.  Soldered together by hand. 

They just don't make them like they used to.   :roflmao

I still haven't learned to do surface mount soldering.

Ya'll make me feel young. My first PC was a Windows 95 Packard Bell with a sizzling Pentium clocked at 166 Mhz, 32 MB of RAM, 1 MB of video RAM, 2.5 GB hard-drive, Sound Blaster card, CD-ROM drive, and 33.6 modem. Wow, I still remember all the major specs.

I really liked my first PC.
