My earliest memories of a computer was this old green and black screened computer that had games like hangman. I don't remember much else about it though.
Commodore.
I remember when the Amiga came out and it was all like "wow so awesome" now it looks like an ancient relic.
Commodores used color TVs, it was probably an Apple IIe, or TRS80.

I guess my earliest memories would have to be the family's first computer, when I was about five? An Atari 800, with 48KB of RAM and a 5.25" floppy disk drive! It could also play Atari 5200 carts.

DOS mode, you could play games on DOS although I'm not even sure how to describe it anymore
you had this game where there was a monkey on each side of a hill of blocks and you put in coordinates where they would toss a banana at the other one over the hill, first one that got the correct coordinates won

I remember when I was 5 or 6 years old, I was bored and wanted a coloring book or something. My mom went on to the internet, found a bunch of pictures and printed them out. This shocked me at the time.
I used the internet sparingly until 2003 though, when my parents got high speed cable internet. First time I saw videos online, I realized you could probably watch TV too. My uncle taught me how to emulate arcade games with Mame, and I discovered pretty quickly you could do that with other game systems as well. I was subscribed to a bunch of Warez sites at a young age and hoarded a lot of stuff, music and tv shows, pretty much always had cracked software of some sort.
I remember being so impressed with the internet around 2003 (I would have been 13) that I bought my own computer the following year. I remember there being a huge snow storm in Colorado around 2004ish, and I just got a shovel and went door to door asking people if they wanted their driveways shoveled. Got over $500 in one day, went back home with a bunch of money in my hand and told my parents I wanted to get a computer right then and there.
Used photoshop a lot when I was younger. I was pretty much on internet forums as early as I can remember as well.

Of the computer, I don't know. My aunt gave me one when she upgraded when I was like 9. I had no fucking idea what so ever what I was doing. I had never seen a computer before that point. It had a few 'games' (I use that term very loosely.. I can't even think of a vulgar simile to drive that point across..)
There was a spider man game where the password was spiderman's eye color is all I can remember. It also had a muesuem tour thing which was stupid as fuck. It had spy vs spy, the only thing resembling a game as we'd know it today.. I think it had windows 95 but I can't even be sure of that..
My first internet experience was with my uncle. He showed me this site called Sugarlinks, which was just a database of links to pics of naked bitches. he awakened a demon that night (I was 13, MAYBE). I didn't sleep at all that night (was spending the night at his house). I spent a few hours in chat rooms, but most of the night was spent looking at porn. I looked up every term a horny 13 year old would look at when first discovering porn and eventually found my way to porn dialers.. YES PORN DIALERS. JESUS.. I never even got connected and a month or so later he got a phone bill for over 1,000.
The most hilarious part is, the aunt and uncle ended up fighting because of me. I was a kid and didn't want to admit what I did. The aunt believed that my uncle did it and was trying to blame me. So he knew it was me, and she 'knew' it was him. I was a kid and one not to take blame for my mistakes so I let her believe it. If I could now, Yeah I'd take it back and admit it. But at the time, hell no. I caught the luckiest break in the world. I got a away with it.
My first night on the internet I learned that there are no real nudes of Christina Aguilera, Brittney spears or whoever else was popular at the time, the hard way.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.
You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

This was a time when you used typewriters for reports! It was before you had a family computer in the house. And it made no sense to me (as a kid in elementary) that mail could arrive seconds after being sent.
erm, no. my first experience with a computer was either a texas instrument or a commodore 64 in '83 at my grandfather's, he had both.... i remember playing Zork for the first time 
and i had a computer in my house since the Apple IIe, and my dad got me very own first computer, a Tandy 1000HX, in '85... epic PoS w/ DOS 2.11 and 256KB of RAM.... dot matrix printer with big spools of paper... first internet was with compuserve and my blazing fast 14.4k modem, got my first tastes of internet pron and chat rooms that day

Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good.
If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.
It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.
I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
