286-10 O/C'd to 12Mhz 640K mem 40Mb RLL computer speaker, and a monochrome monitor but I've worked on XT's aswell.

Technically? A pong console then the Atari 2600

But I think a more correct answer would be:
Cyrix 386/33mhz (called a 386-to-486 cpu. basically it was a 386 cpu that could run the 486 instuction set)

XP's? You mean XT's?

[Redwolf]

No, his second computer was an old Atholon Xp 1600+. Wow, that's ancient

Tandy Color Basic

64K

It was the bomb.

The OLDEST computer I've used is a TRS-80 Model III . My Graphing Calculator is more powerful. Also, what's with the processor being next to the monitor tube? Reminds me of the original iMacs. *Snicker...*
