i first started out windows 3.0, and boy, did i have good times (and bad) with that. it was around 1993 or so and my dad had just gotten it and i was like wtf mate? never seen one of those things before... and what do you know it, he showed me the strings of the comp and i just took off. the first comp game i ever played was wolfenstien, the very first one tehy ever made. i was so sacred at the time, to play it. but graudlaly, i got older and i learned that a game shouldnt scare me as much. then the internet came out and the old windwops couldnt take the internet so i just got an emahcnies (very crappy) and then i really started to pick off with learning about how a comp works and all that and the components etc. then i saved up, got a fairly nice desktop (pent. 3.2 ht, just upgraded to 1024 mb ram, 200g hd, 24 bit sound blaster, and an ati radeon x300se pcie) that was decent but my labtop that i just got (in specs) pwns my desktop, even the graphics arent as good. but yeah, i have come a long way.
