I started with a Packard Bell XP.
2400 baud and upgraded in steps to 14400 over time.
System got upgraded as well.
I ran DRDOS and WWIII BBS software then Upgraded to Renegade.
Then when Win 3.0 got big I went to Excalibur BBS Software.
I used ProComm Plus as my comm software.

I cant recall the specs of anything. Way too long ago.
Those were the daysā€¦

Ok my first was a Compaq Deskpro 8086 runing a whopping 7.14 mhz and a CGA graphics and a 20mg HDD.
Then I moved up to the PB Legend something. But a 386 processor and a 100mg HDD.
I was Hot Shit on the block back then.
Those were the daysā€¦

I still use DOS. My first computer was a Commodore 64 and thatā€™s where I learned my first programming language- BASIC

Of course, just saying that back then, we didnā€™t have NTFS. Or FAT32.

Love it. DOS for the win. You could only get stuff to work if you knew what you were doing. I always maintained Windows dumbed-down computing.

dir/w > list.txt or dir > list.txt was definitely my favorite thing to do, especially back when I was modding Wing Commander, Doom or Star Command data files in a rudimentary hex editor and I needed to see the full list of files/folders in a more consumable way ā€¦my god that was such a long ass time ago.

Same. Took it in middle school. Now Iā€™m fairly competent in Visual Basic, well was. Been years since I touched the stuff.

I started in computer programming when we did not even have pcā€™s - only smart terminals. And, we still used punch cards (aka Hollerith cards).

My first pc-based program I wrote for work was in BASICA (Advanced Basic).

Yeah, I am old, but I still remember a lot of what went on back then.

I donā€™t like Facebook or Google, either, and I avoid them like the plague.

I do use YouTube, and will as long as they continue to allow pro-gun videos, but I donā€™t like their politics.

And, I donā€™t subscribe to any of the YouTube channels.

And look where we are today. That simple little computer gave birth to our current overlords. Listening to everything we say and watching what we do.

Hereā€™s a fun little mini novel.
