Which color was your first computer?

@ClancyParliament @Em0nM4stodon before we got the family computer, i had a dedicated Brother word processor with a CRT that was black with amber words

Full colour with the caveat that it was CGA and therefore more... four-colour.

Still counts! I did also use other boxen back then which had amber and green, but the home box was CGA running some very early version of DOS.

It was off-white. I had a silly dial up emachines which was aol. The best thing about it was the AImchat which was very polite back then and no one hacked anyone.

First one I bought was charcoal, or some other dark shade of gray. 25MHz 486 laptop.
Had had a fair few work provided beige boxes (work being IBM, mostly) before then.

I remember this monitor but I'm certain it was a tower. 1995 or 6 HP Pavillion with Windows 95. I still remember the day my Dad got it all set up and turned it on and being so excited. I had pretty much no reason to use a computer at that age but seeing some of the games and watching him connect to AOL was enough to make it a core memory.

If my dad were on here he could tell you his first computer was a university mainframe that had no monitor, the only output was a teleprinter

"Putty" is not grey, not beige, not as bright as "off-white".

@Em0nM4stodon So much beige..

(This was a household PC, rather than mine exactly - a Gateway 2000 with Windows 95. The glamour!)

Because of the stickers, I can't remember the original colour.

@Em0nM4stodon
Which old computer is not beige? Aren't they all?

[dashdsrdash@tilde.zone]

@ClancyParliament @Em0nM4stodon

16 colors is "full color", right?

It was kind of blue and stainless steel, locked away on a "raised floor."

Beige and dark (slate) grey - Sharp MZ700 series - with a faux wood finish portable TV for a monitor. **mumbles** years ago!

Was it not an American secret service that kept NeXT afloat?
