1st computer & 1st program
The first system I owned had a 333 Mhz CPU, 64 MB memory and ran on Windows 98. Then started to think.. when was the very first time I messed with a computer? Screen shot was something done for laughs. It’s Word Perfect 6.0, which ran on MS-DOS and first used in 1993. MS-DOS was…

The Coolest Vending Machine Ever
