@nunim yes that is the trash-80 with the printer, and the audio casset tape for programming. Also had 2 joysticks, 2 games stick figure football and baseball.
Had a T-1000 i got later, with DOS on chip, battery was still holding half an hour...
Very nice little machine.

AMD Duron 700 MHz, 64 MB, 20 GB hard drive, CD-ROM, Microsoft Windows ME, For: Business
Think it was the 1999 version? Not sure
To many nostalgic memories, will /cry...
Windows ME = folks were frantically paying $25 to downgrade to go back to Win98 SE or Windows 2000 while Windows XP was in the works...
Intel Pentium III @ somewhere around 800MHz, 64MB of RAM, 20GB hard drive. It came with ME so I downgraded to 2000, and then upgraded to XP. I got the machine in 2000. I also upgraded the machine several times to get more RAM/HDD.
Good times. I still have the machine today, and it still runs, although I don't use it anymore.
Apple II+

My first computer is given to my friend,
2000 was an upgrade to ME, XP came after 2000.
MS Dos 2.0 computer
No space invaders??
My Dad brought a Colour Genie home from work and I quickly became addicted...
2000 wasn't an upgrade in it's technical sense. 2000 was the business branch, ME the consumer one. Hence, SCSI worked just with 2000, however, games only with 98/ME. So I always switched back and forth between 2000/98.
Uh, no. 2000 was from a separate line of Windows products (the NT branch) whereas both 98 and ME were from the consumer line. With XP, these two lines of products were basically merged together (and you had 'versions' like Home edition and Professional edition etc.)
Saying 2000 was an upgrade to ME is like saying MS Word was an upgrade to MS Works.
@joepie your wrong. Windows 2000 was the next generation of windows nt 4.0 and where the new gui design came from.
XP was the merging of the 98 kernel and the NT / 2000 kernel.
@24khost - no, Windows XP is a successor of NT line, Windows 9x kernel was abandoned after Windows ME

With 300 baud modem.

@David_P We have a crap load of those lying around in the closets at school. For some unknown reason, my school still counts the inventory on those things and refuses to give them away or throw out.
My first computer was a Commodore 64. I built the modem myself (300 baud) using an application specific IC and adapting the manufacturer schematic to a line coupling trasformer borrowed from a scrapped telephone. It had no microcontroller and no hayes compatibility, the number needed to be dialed from a telephone connected to the same line. At the time, I used it to dial a IBM mainframe connected to BITNET, one of the networks before the world wide web. The computer was connected to a old TV set, and to read 80 column text I printed it on a scavenged dot matrix printer that was scrapped by previous owner because it supported 7 bit Ascii characters only. A conversion program from IBM Ebcdic character encoding and Ascii encoding was needed.
My first computer was a 1996 Compaq, but the first computer I bought was a 2006 Mac Mini running OS X 10.4, Tiger.
lol They're pretty sturdy from my experiences, but outdated now. Hoarders syndrome maybe?
Not the first, but the first I can remember:
