When did you use a computer for the first time? Was it at school?

When did you receive your first computer?

What kind was it?

(1) High school; the library had a couple of - for its' day - modern early 90's era Apple Macs'.
(2 & 3) First computer I owned myself was a 2004-era Dell Dimension 8400 w/Windows XP; owned it for nearly 13 years....
 
Used computers at school and the library for years until I got one at around age.............. 23 I think.
 
We had shitty computers back in the early 90s with a green and black screen. You could use it to type out a paper for school and print it I suppose, thats about it.

The first computer that I bought for myself (that could get on the internet) was a Compaq Presario.

Looked just like this:

You could change the face plates which was cool. If you look at the pic above the blue plastic parts on the front of the tower and the middle/upper part of the keyboard popped off and you could put different colors there. I had green, blue, red. orange, purple. Usually had the green one on since thats my favorite color :D
 
I first used it at home cause we always had a computer at home but also was using it at school. I remember the first time I learned about gaming PC, I think I was asking my dad 20 times a day if we could order this specific gaming PC on CyberPower website, which he finally agreed to order it. That was my first gaming PC and then a couple years after I build my first one and now I built another one a couple weeks ago. But since the first time ever touching a computer, I got hooked for life lol.

Really sorry for double posting but quick question, was this a "webcam'' on top of the screen?
