16 years old, an HP9810A in Junior year of HS. It was about as big as a laser printer. I forget how we gave it the input to "move contents of register A to register B", but we managed to use it to add a few numbers together, woot!

I was 8 years old and it was big and yellow and full of color and my dad told me not to touch it xD

I think I was 6. It was a mac and I tried playing Warcraft 2 rather unsuccessfully. Although my little brother started at age 4 on a Pentium D machine. Crazy, yes? We didn't even have P3's when I used that mac for the first time.

I had one of the first apples that came out and then I eventually got a commadore 64...They were the greatest thing next to slice bread that is lol...I was 12 I believe when I get my Apple and then 14 I think when I got my commadore, so that would have been around the years of 81, 82 I think...

The Atari 800XL that I bought out of my hard earned money. Those things were not cheap(price). I was about 16 years old then.

I don't know the exact first time, but I remember using a computer at age 4. It had Windows 95 (which, at the time, was about as new as Vista is today) on it I think. I remember the year because the computer had a countdown timer on it and I set it to 99 minutes and backed up to the wall to get away from the "97". So it was in 1997 most likely.

Elliot 903, 1978. About the size of a desk, 8k ram (core), paper tape in and out. I was 16.

I was 36, yes really, and didn't have a clue, couldn't even work out the difference between files and folders, but have learnt relatively quickly since then with the help of my boyfriend, and am even designing simple html websites now :)

That was way back in the late 70s and early 80s. I remember an old Tandy machine and after that was one from Texas Instrument. I was maybe in my early 20s.
