I moved a month ago and threw away a Dell I got right out of college in 2004. It worked just well enough to use remote desktop for my work computer, so I actuualy did get use out of it all the way until the end.

Same here

It is only fifteen years old or so, but it is a unique computer that didn't really catch on, but I used it daily for 5 years until the surface pro came out and I still use it on occasion if I have a legacy file that needs some old tool or driver. This was a fully functioning desktop operating system in a handheld computer with a stylus touch screen and a thumb operated keyboard way before most companies were thinking about any of those things.

I think that I still have an old emachine that has vista on it. Or would that just be the worst computer on here?

Does a Nintendo 8 bit system count?

I have a functional TI99.

Or it was functional when i put in storage in my garage a few years back. Scored 2 of them and a bunch of games from my old science teacher when i was about 13 years old. Still have it.

Favorite game? MASH~

Ohh, man I could probably pull some crazy shit out of storage.....

I still have my Commodore 64.

Man, do you remember looking at porn in 1999? Terrible. A jerk here a jerk there. Very unsatisfying. Thanks Technology!

I was a teenager in 99. A JCPenny catalog could get me off if need be

I still have the Macintosh SE FDHD I bought in 1989 or so. I fired it up for the first time in over 25 years a month or two ago and it still works, although I found that my ADB mouse is jacked up. That's a real shocker, haha. It's probably just hopelessly filled with lint.

It was the first computer I bought new. Before that, I bought a used Commodore 64 from Neil Armstrong's son, Rick, back when he was a dolphin trainer whose dolphins performed at Worlds of Fun in the summers.

I'm sure if he was still here, Pooper Barrett would tell everyone he still had the original first ever built computer in his garage.
