I'm not sure about the first computer I ever owned, but the first ever used was either an Apple IIe at school or a Burroughs B20 (not sure which model) that my dad would sometimes bring home from work...it had this game on it, Rats, that was equal parts bizarre and amusing.

I was 15, so 1990, i got my first PC.
I already had interest in the Commodore 64, but wasn't allowed to buy one.

We got a Tulip 80286 with 40 MB HDD, 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disk, 1 MB memory and a VGA-256 color monitor. And a rectangular mouse.
A beast for that time.

Later, when we also got Windows 2.0 we bought a whopping 2 MB of memory extra.
