What was your first computer and what program or application made you realize you would always own a computer?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Next came an early PDA, the Psion Series 3a. It comes loaded with spreadsheet, word processor, calendar, address book, and is programmable in a language called OPL. Hard not to consider it a proper handheld computer!

The first mainstream computer I personally owned was a Thinkpad laptop, circa 1994.
I forget the exact spec, but it had a mono screen, ran Windows 3.1, and I got a 14.4kbps modem card to go with it. I used it to access Compuserve, and run Word and Excel.
The main reason I got it at that time was I working, and taking a part-time management course as well. I lived in a small apartment, and was often at my parents house at the weekend. So I wanted a laptop to be able to work on my assignments wherever I was.
However... that was far from the first computer I used. Up til that time there was no great reason for me to have my own machine when I had easy access to Unix boxes at college, or mainframes and PCs at work.
With my long history of using computers, there was no one moment or app that made me think I'd always own a computer. The bigger surprise is I waited so long before I got one of my own, but that is probably down to how puny home machines were and how much they cost compared to the computing power I was used to having for my work.
But perhaps the killer app that made using a computer at home a daily occurrence was email. At that time, via Compuserve!

Looks like it. Thanks
i bet the school comp was an apple 2e, that is what i and most schools used with the green screen. The 2c had the same green screen and it might have come bundled with prince of persia. I know i had that game and on the 2e and Frogger and Boulderdash on the 2e. those games rocked
