I was expecting my brother to buy a word processor with a nice green screen I was actually pretty excited by the idea and had picked out a nice Amstrad WP with a green screen so I was really shocked when he brought in this beautiful smart PC.
I was 10 and learnt everything I could from the Dos Manuals about the computer...even Qbasic was amazing fun.
This is what I can remember of it's stats...
Model - Ambra
386 SX 25Mhz
2 MB ram (which is why I needed to be good at Dos, arranging the memory stacks in the EMM368.sys to get some programs - ok games - to work was both challanging and fun)
Win 3.1 (upgraded to Win 3.11 for workgroups)
Dos 5.0 (later upgraded to Dos 6.0 then 6.1)
15inch VGA COLOUR Monitor.
Mouse (WOW!! Never even used one before..)
40MB Hard disk (we doublespaced it to 80MB)
2.5" Floppy drive
400XL Epson dotmetrix Printer.
It came with Lemmings - loved it.
My First NON- PC computer was an Atari 800XL but we only used it for games and programming in Basic.
