My first computer was our family’s 286 Wang pc. I used it mainly to play Sierra games. It’s how I learned a lot of my first English words.
I got my first cellphone, a Sony-Ericsson, around 2003 and only because my brother gave it to me. I was a staunch hater of cellphones but too Dutch to pass up on a free thing :)

Ooh, my family's was a 386 Wang Exec. My mom upgraded to the 384MB 5.25" internal hard drive. Dual 5.25 and 3.5 inch disk drives. So many memories.
