How old were you when you got your first computer?

Back in early 2006 a friend gave me his old Dell Dimension L550r series desktop. I had just turned 11 that January. That was what first started me getting into computers.

How old were you when you got your own first computer, and what make/model was it?

It was seriously crappy because there was a power surge before and it literally destroyed the computer. That was about five years ago when I was nine years old. I now have a Macbook.; ▶ Reply to This
