First Computer I Used

What was the first computer you ever used?

One evening, my parents asked, "Would you like a computer?" because one of their friends had one.  Not knowing what a computer was, I said yes.  A few days later, they took me to their friends’ house to check out their computer.  I enjoyed it.

We soon bought our first computer, a Commodore 64.  The keyboard was thick, and the monitor was pretty similar to a TV.  Joysticks were almost always required, and the floppy drives were external and huge.  Though the only function we knew was games, we enjoyed it.  My maternal grandmother and I often played the games.

A few years later, we learned how to load programs from those 5" floppy disks.  My little brother and I would then spend much time in front of the computer everyday until we got a Nintendo.  While then, we used Apple computers at school, and also saw IBMs.

Over the past two decades, computers have varied and advanced very much.  I now use my computer for many important tasks, such as school assignments.
