My first was about 10 years before that, but I sure remember the Tandy TRS-80, the Commodore PET and the Apple IIe, to name a few. We've come a long way!
Actually, they don't come with a full charge, which is why Apple recommends that you fully charge it when you first open it.
Heck yeah we have. My wife's father used to collect and store all of those computer magazines. After he passed away, we we cleaning out his garage and laughing about the headlines screaming out that "The future is now, with blazing fast 286 machines" and the like.
Edit: The future is awfully short if your a computer.
Makes sense. They prepare for the unlikely event that it stays on the shelf for 6 month
also, this thread is awesome!

I would loooooooooove to look at some of my old Computer Shopper mags from the early 90's......
I would be afraid it would turn into a Packard Bell PC with Windows ME loaded.
Maybe I am dating myself with that one? LOL
You guys are hilarious.
This is a great thread. I think the holidays brings back a lot of these memories because it seems every xmas I was always hoping for some new computer gadgets (or bb/pellet guns ).
I remember spending hours typing machine code fevershly from Compute Gazettes, so that I could play a game, only to have it completely vanish when I had to shut the computer off. One christmas I got an adapter that allowed me to use a cassette drive (with a counter of course) for storing those programs and I was in all my glory.
But my favorite xmas gift of all time was when I got a 300 baud modem. I use to drive everyone crazy tying up the phone lines with dialing programs trying to find undiscovered bulletin board systems. Come to think about it, the reason why I love forums like MacRumors is because they remind me of a modern version of the bulletin boards.
To me those were the golden days of computers. Back before it was commercialized and it was mostly for enthusiasts and hobbyists.

But we don't have those nifty Door games like L.O.R.D (Legend Of The Red Dragon), Trade Wars, Lunatix, Operation: Overkill and the like
