What was your first computer?

If you were younger when your family got their first computer, what was it? And what was the first computer you ever bought?
My family's first computer was an Atari 400. It had 16K of RAM and came with a cassette drive. Floppy drives were a bit too expensive at the time but my dad bought one a few years later when the prices started coming down. He bought it in 1980 or 1981. I remember I learned to program it in 1981 because on my way to school on my 13th birthday I was wondering how to make a birthday program.
The first one I ever bought was from a local computer shop. It had a Pentium 90 processor, a 4 GB hard drive, a CD-RW drive, and a floppy drive. It ran Windows 98SE. I bought it in 1999 and had it until it eventually died.
