  Well, if we are talking about first computers, then I have to note that
I said earlier that "the first PC I used was a 8086". However, it wasn't my
first computer.
  The first computer ever that I have used was a Spectrum 48k, and the first
computer I have owned was a Spectrum 128k.

  I even learned a bit how to code in Spectrum assembler. The intel assembler
is surprisingly similar and so it took me just a few days to learn it.

  Of course I'm very young in this matter. I personally know people who have
used computers when they still used punch cards and had no monitors of any kind
(everything was printed on paper).
