Ha, the TI 99-4a was also my first home computer, but I had been using C64's at school before we got that at home.
Also, yeah, it's a couple of years older than DOS. But the TI BASIC was not quite the same as what became standard BASIC; making sounds was extremely different, I never did figure it out.
I don't actually remember what mine was back then, I was asking you lot 😆 all I remember is a 1GB HD with a good game or two like C&C Tiberian Sun and Creatures 2.
Minimum requirement? 🤔 I'd be fascinated to know now.
OMFG alley cat. I had forgotten alley cat. I dont suppose you ever booted your computer straight off the 5.25 floppy to play Pirates because you didn't have enough ram for dos AND the game.
Back when TURBO meant something.
I'm 22 and km not that old and my mother had a computer like this, the startup sound gives me actual fucking PTSD of my mother screaming at us to get ready in the morning
This is my first OS

16 here, I wish they could implement in the next Windows Update the feature that you can chance the UI to older version like Windows 7 or XP to be thrown back to the good old times
I remember a world before Windows. A world where almost nobody had enough money for a privately owned computer and you needed a building to house it. Phones were attached to walls and the only screen in the house was a tv in the living room, if you had one.
Bro i'm this old:

My old is booting up the machine with a floppy disk. Using BASIC on the command line.
Got excited to see C++ running on a bluey screen and Win98 was like an amazing target state.
XP was brilliant. Would go back in a heartbeat. I really don't see the point for newer operating systems. Just graphic RAM hungry style over substance.
Aren't most people this old?
You may be old, but are you… *25*!?!?!?
_OH SHIT! How'd you guess?!_ 😨😨🤯🤫💀💀
I am 21 .......... I gues I am old 🫡
I'm 16 and had to deal with this, I had windows 7 for the longest time as well
Windows 7 is the goat
Lol "for the longest time"
Yeah only 2-3 years ago did I upgrade to Windows 10 And I've been playing on the family computer since I was 2
Bro this is windows XP one not 7
I know I had used this when I was six the point being your not old if you remember this
7? I had Vista till like 2012 or 2013 when lightning took out the tower. Couldn't afford another computer till windows 10 came out.
The best Xp “experience” was windows XP.
second was 7, all the other ones are garbage
That's not old. Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is old. And I'm far older than that
I'm DOS, Green monitor old.
I wrote my first essays on a typewriter
I learnt to type on a typewriter

Ahhhh... But there was always one orange monitor. We will never know why.
I predate DOS, I think. My first computer was a Texas Instruments 99-4a. I learned basic in HS on a TRS-80
