What brand was your first computer?

I have to admit our first computer was an Amstrad!

Followed by a Compaq, Tiny and now a Dell...which I hope will soon be upgraded to something that can cope with family useage....

I learned to use a computer on my father's old IBM PCJr, before it was stolen when our house was robbed in 1993, at which point we bought the Apple LC III. My elementary school used the Apple Classic until roughly 1997 before they upgraded to the then-latest version. In 2001 we had a custom-build PC desktop that was in the shop more often than it was in our home.

My first laptop was the Compaq Presario 2.0 back in 2005, which was replaced in late 2007 with a single-core Acer Aspire. Since then I've owned three Acer Aspires (the original Aspire netbook, a dual core notebook, and a desktop), and currently use a Toshiba Satellite.

The first computer I used... I can't remember, but my mom taught computer classes from the time I was four years old on up. I'd guess an IBM of some sort. My first personal computer was a Gateway laptop that my parents gave me when I finished High School. Three years later I bought another Gateway, because I didn't know much better. In Graduate school I had wisened up a bit and I made the best computer purchase I've ever made -- a Thinkpad. Thinkpads (of the X, T, and W series) are some of the computers I've ever used. Mine was worth every penny. A few years after that the school bought me a Macbook Pro 13 to use. It was well built and decent, but I needed to run various softwares in Windows and Boot Camp didn't work quite as well as advertised. The Mac OS was great though. My current computer is a Desktop that I built myself. I plan to purchase an X-series Thinkpad to go with it before much longer.
