Which color was your first computer?

[zenheathen@beige.party]

@Em0nM4stodon Beige. And my second. And my third... I lose track somewhere, but probably about six or seven, until my first Freecycled laptop without a hard drive (at first). So that's about... '78 to '05 or so?

@Em0nM4stodon black but not the period you're probably thinking of... It was an early 1980s ZX81.

Second was a lovely dark grey Amstrad CPC464. Only after that started the series of beige, beige, beige, beige, black (still have) desktop PCs, black netbook, white laptop, dark blue laptop, metallic green laptop

@Em0nM4stodon @alterelefant A warm dark grey: a Schneider CPC464.

TI99-4A, I don't remember the colour.
We ran a simulacrum of Pacman on it, and that's about all.

@Em0nM4stodon @phlash My first computer was an Olivetti 286. It was grey.

@Em0nM4stodon not this one but same model even same weirdly small monitor. The basic had computed gosubs and arrays such that I was able to write recursive code. Possibly my favorite code ever was a math expression parser that knew about complex numbers. And filling the 8k with digits of pi and e, using assembly. I couldn't view or use the digits but they were there. BCD for e at least.

Beigevengers assemble... preferably in basic.

@Em0nM4stodon Yellow, but I'm lowering the average age of a person here

@Em0nM4stodon Where’s gray though? Not that I had one, but Atari ST’s were distinctively gray and not beige.

[thomy2000@fosstodon.org]

@Em0nM4stodon It was a gray laptop.

[daswarkeinhuhn@netzkae.se]

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange light industrial grey

[lordcaramac@discordian.social]

@Em0nM4stodon My first computer was an XT compatible that came with MS-DOS 3.2 and GEM 2.something in the late 1980s. Of course it was beige.

@Em0nM4stodon

Had to search because I remembered the computer quite well (TI99/4A) but not its color. (I'm somewhat colorblind and don't usually think of things in terms of their color unless I have some specific reason to.)

[wen@mastodon.scot]

@Em0nM4stodon @Lazarou It was a bare circuit board.

[jeremyjanzen@mstdn.ca]

@Em0nM4stodon My first was beige but I also had some that I described as pewter computers.

@Em0nM4stodon Wang Pro PC... kinda dirty green colour. Wierd! ‍️
