QC with the first machine you wrote a line of code on. . Not so cool, old and vintage as the other machines I am seeing on this thread, but my first computer was a 486 DX 33 (not the one in the picture, but similar. no CDRom, no soundcard). In the day I opened the box I didnt have any software or game, only the MS-DOS to play with. So I spent the day following the MS-DOS manual 😅 (create new directory, erase directory, ... ). . I guess that the first lines of code where following a book teaching BASIC to kids (cannot remember the title, but it was a space adventure and then you needed to code some small programs to solve problems in the space ship).

Nice, my first proper PC was a 386 DX2 66. It was a phenomenal acquisition. I was on it all night and all day, playing games (Sim City) and making music, Cakewalk + AWE32 soundcard. I also spent a lot of time and wrestling with the config.sys and autoexe.bat files 😆

So you had a 486 like some rich kid (joking!) 😅 💙 My PC life started on a IBM 8088, though not with ASM. Learned Pascal in middle school, got more serious once I got a 386 SX (DX?) and switched to Borland Turbo Pascal. The ASCII IDE was such a trip, and TP5.5 got me into OOP before Java. A 486, though, that was still as mythical as 16bit color. I was stuck in EGA for a loong time. 😅
