What was your first computer? (Download Squad)

Jan 23rd 2010 4:19PM Boy this topic brings back the memories :)

Nov 1982 - Timex Sinclair 1000, 2k with 16k RAM Pack, a couple of cassette-based games, and had to add the cassette player :)

Moved to a Franklin Ace 500 (which I found I couldn't upgrade :( ), then a Laser 128EX which I expanded to 1MB RAM! Could load all of Appleworks into RAM and have room to spare :)

Atari 600XL (cousin had the 800XL) and a bunch of game carts.

1st PC was a generic XT around mid-1980's. Been on PC platform ever since.

Feb 4th 2009 5:14PM Hi Lloyd...

Like you, I'm also giving Win7 beta a try. Unlike you, I'm not really having any problems.

My system is an older Pentium 4 1.6gHz, 1GB PC133 RAM, 50GB partition (on a 250GB drive) with a 256MB video card.

I am running Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Online with no real problems (aside from lag from the internet).

If it's not able to run Spider Solitaire, you're having other issues. You might want to check into your drivers or your install.

No, I don't have Vista... I'm running XP Pro on my other drive, and it runs good also with this same setup. I've been happy with it.
