our first pc or notebook

Postby Pousinha » 23 Jan 2021, 21:06

When did you get a pc or notebook/netbook first time in life? Mine was 21 years ago, exactly at the beginning of millennium. I was attending the third year of my first degree and one of our professors told us in the classroom we would need a pc to improve our studying. It was the windows 95/98 era and my first pc was a desktop acer, intel celeron processor. Google didn't exist yet, nor yahoo. All students of my same university still used outlook to communicate between us, secretary and it was through outlook I kept on receiving news about my job in the economy laboratory I had during those times.
Since that first time I loved too much new technology devices and I still didn't know that years and years later they would provide jobs for me :mrgreen:

Funny, my first laptop was also an Acer and my parents gave me it when I was in university because I needed it for academic works.

I got my ever first PC I think when I was in my college days, can't remember the exact year but it was only a second-hand PC because at that time we couldn't afford to buy a brand new PC it was too expensive. :(

Haha, same reason I needed a PC because we needed it for our thesis back then. I remember my groupmates in thesis went to our house just to do our thesis.

I got my first PC from school since I was one of the best students but my parents were very poor so they could not buy it for me. I didn't have internet accces. Just Office package on WIN 95. I also didn't have CD ROM just floppy.

Very nostalgic a floppy disk. How time flies in the next few years, the PCs will evolve again.

I had a considerable number of floppy disks, where I stored my first academic jobs (If I remember well, I stored my first degree dissertation too. I miss floppy disk too :wave:
