Well yea, kinda... 21. I never met computers like Atari or Commodore when I was young. But with some games from that time I'm familiar anyway. I had a chinese console, where I played all the classic games like Contra, Space Invaders, Mario, Tetris, etc. :-)

Mine was an ENIAC. It came with minesweeper and spider solitaire. :)

Before PC my dad had a ATARI, so i was able to run some game myself by siting in front of TV screen and waiting 45minutes before it loaded from tape.
But my first PC - 286 (I think it was 25Mhz)... Not sure of ram but it was max of 8MB and 10mb hdd.
It was bit old even for his times... It was a time of 486 machines... And everybody had one.
Firstly it had pre-installed DOS and NC, but i spend 2 days before i figured out how to run the second one.

An Atari 800XL. I even used to make my own programs in that thing (amazing back then for a 7 years old kiddo)

the first one i actually owned was a vic-20. before of that i had (borrowed) a zx81 and a hp-41. i remember this last one had a sw for calculating the structure of railway bridges, stored in some 7 magnetic cards.

My first was a Windows 95 CTX machine.
I can't remember the specs, because I was so young. I'm sure it was AMD K6... Probably around 32MB RAM. I could run Rainbow Six Rouge Spear in software rendering mode. ;)
I remember playing Jazz Jackrabbit, Space Quest, etc. :)

I dont remember much about my first pc aside from the user interface, it was kinda like WinCommander except everything was green with white text. i THINK it was norton? eeh... i have no idea. mostly played on my NES in my childhood i didnt get into pc's as much as i have untill i got windows 95. never really got into programming, although i make small maps for games when i get bored. (spend most of my time on neverwinter nights just creating a world. just the world i never got around to an actual story XD)

The first own PC I had was a AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1Ghz with 128MB RAM - but I got this when I was older, before we had an AMD 486DX 66Mhz. After that thing got very old and f-ed up, I used my brothers Intel PII with 300Mhz.

Had an Atari 2600, then NES. Not computers, but I used them for gaming, so... specialized computers. First PC-compatible... Celeron 333Mhz, 64 MB SDRAM, 3Dfx Banshee 16 MB VRAM. Later upgraded it to 256MB RAM and GF4 MX440, then gave it away to a friend and purchased Core2Duo... later came i5... blah, blah...

What was your first computer? And I don't mean family computers nor computers that you were sharing with someone.
Mine was Pentium II 266Mhz, 64MB Ram, 4GB HDD. I bought it second hand for like $350 and after few weeks I upgraded a graphic card to nVidia GeForce MX200 to be able to play THPS 2 :D
