TheDC70 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Windows 3.1 Wow, that was back in the day. It was a Compaq computer with a P 90 mhz $3,500 +/-. Even better, It was skinned by Compaq with some funky tab browsing notebook on the side. Then, I deleted the operating system, fixed it and got into computers. To this day, I swear I didn't do it though. Just played with the power settings for the monitor.

iCrash Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) Windows 3.1 on a Tandy PC for Radio Shack. I was like 4 years old and just learning to use a mouse and I would constantly accidently move icons around and I always thought I did something bad and got upset when my older sister (also thinking it was bad) would tell on me. I look back and remember at 4 years old I was memorizing DOS commands to play each of those games and boot Windows. I used to play Treasure Cove, Treasure Mountain, Bernstien Bears, Mega Race, The Lion King, and some Crayola game. My dad played Doom, Under a Killing Moon, and Myst. Then we got a top of the line Dell in 1998- Windows 98se, 733Mhz Pentium III with 256mb of ram, DVD-rom drive, and the sweetest flat screen CRT- a 17" Sony Trinitron. We actually still have it and it runs XP fairly well (with 512mb of ram).

Conroe Mac Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I had an Apple IIe. But it didn't have an OS =) because there was no hard drive. If you wanted a program, you wrote it or used a big big floppy disk. Then I had Mac System 6. It was black and white and I actually went on the internet with it.

solaar Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 My very first 'contact' with a computer was in 1978 on an IBM System/370 mainframe running MVS as OS. The whole system had a footprint of a medium sized pub. I did a student job as night operator there. I also learned Fortran 4 on that monster. Yep, with punch cards... Just for a laugh: Big, fast disk drives were one of the strengths of IBM. In 1973, the big mainframe disk drive was model 3330-11: 400 MB for $111,600 or $279/MB. By 1980, you could get the 3380: 2.5GB for $87,500 or $35/MB. DRAM prices were dropping, too: In 1979 the price was cut from $75,000/MB to $50,000/MB. My first self-owned machine was a C64 with a very fragile MIDI interface plugged in a slot in the back and running Supertrack. From the mid 80s I had an Atari 520ST, running C-Lab Creator. I'm actually surprised the Atari hasn't been mentioned yet. It was a wicked machine. Good performer, very stable (and it had a sturdy MIDI interface built in ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35703-what-was-your-first-operating-system/page/3/#findComment-310894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthoughts Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I mostly remember my operating systems when I was little only because of the games I played on them. Age 5: DOS- Sharkey's Pool Age 6: Mac LC 580 - System 7, Jump Start First Grade and Math Ace Jr. Age 7: Windows 95 - Commander Keen and Biomenace and then 98, XP, and now OS X.

Analog Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 C64 Basic V2 was my first OS, followed closely (but rarley used) by GEOS (a windowed GUI OS for the C64). GEOS was interesting, but it was all about the command prompt back then (GEOS could {censored} out and was very limited). Loading software always come down to one variation of a command: LOAD"*",8,1 <Searching for *> <Program Loaded> <Ready> RUN ... and it even came with 256 bit colour graphics and SID synthesized sound.
