Yup that as my thing too.  My first PC technically was a VIC20 I got at a garage sale but it was missing every thing and only had a couple carts for it.  Can't really count that as much more than a console experience for me. I wish it was more but it wasn't long after that I got an Apple IIc.  Played around what that for hours on end making my own basic programs and playing the occasional game.  Never got to use it with a modem.  Then School Got Macs and I was like look at all these colors!  Begged Dad for one and he was like nope were getting a PC.  This is when I got in to PCs and once I did never looked back at apple again.  My main computer was a 486SX20 with 8MB ram (upgraded) and a 170MB drive.  I was the super kid on the block with that much space.  I actually got the 386 after this from a friend who was a computer parts hoarder.  I went to him and said Hay let me build a computer from all these parts you have sitting around.  He said yes and my BBS (at least the hardware) was born. 

Look you guys have me in a super nostalgic mood.
