O/T When did you first use a computer?

Sherrie H, 18 May, 2008 at 18:40 Posted on Planning 0 7

Just sat here looking at all my disks of faves and realised I have had a PC since 1989!

When did you all start using a computer.

    Wow really had to think... probably since about 1995! Which is incidentally how old it seems like this one is - poxy crappy thing! ?

    Define computer, for me it was probably a Commodore Pet back in school in about 1980 (that's it I'm showing my age now), followed by a Sinclair ZX spectrum at home.

    Followed by loads and loads of different PC's.

    I went to a very small primary school so the first time I used a computer was 1992 when I went to secondary school.

    I got my first home computer in 1999 - so 10 years after Sherrie.

    We didn't have them when I was at school, we had a slateboard & chalk! No I'm not really quite that old.

    We had them too! Think it was mid-late 80s for me though!

    My mum bought me an Atari ST in 1990, but we had a BBC Basic before that.

    Around 1982 - another Sinclair ZX Spectrum at home fan - also had a BBC at I think infant school. Really got into using them in the 5th form at senior school which would have been 1990.
