This is a real story from my life,
I have started using computer from 2000’s and i had a PC in my home, do you know why i got my first PS, this is the story behind,
The story starts when i was studying my 3rd year of Diploma in textile Technology at Central Polytechnic collage, Vattiyurkavu,
the one subject, we are poor in is the Computer application, it is because Computer is new to all of us, so we decided to take tuition from a teacher. we have to go to his home to get tuition, he has an old pc, at that time in kerala most PCs are running in windows 3.1 or windows 95 only. and we have to study Basics of computer, C, and C++ programing only, now a days you may feel it is simple, i can explain it because my 5year old son, know to opn my laptop, type his texts, get download his games from internet or even play from online games,
but at that time, in 2000’s, we feared to touch computer, we were sitting in a row, and getting our classes, that time the 7 year old son of my teacher, came playing, he just switched on the computer, typed command, c:/win32 … .. and the windows loaded …( its windows 3.1) and he seen some pictures in it, then exit,, after he again typed command for the game dave… we were eagerly watching what he was doing, and the game opened, and he played well for some time, and quit the computer and just smiled us and gone .. we were thinking about the meaning of his smile…
actually we were shocked to see that, and on that day, i decided to purchase my first computer, and started saving money to get one,
Latter in 2001, one of my friend Mr, Sajeesh told me that he has a computer to sell and, it was of his friend, and i have to pay Rs. 12000/- for that, i opened by saving box and checked my pocket money and other savings for the computer, and get that i have about 10000/- and i told him so, he spoke with his friend and got my first computer installed with windows 3.1 … hahaha..
do you know what are the specs of that,,,
Process 846 Mhz ( today my Phone has 2.6Gz cord )
RAM 16 MB ( 2 Slots of 8 MB)
Hard disk 300 MB
Monitor Colour 14 “
clatter i upgraded the system to a 32 MB RAM, which was its maximum and loaded Windows 95 .. and upgraded the HDD to 500 MB also as its maximum,
That system worked for me about 2 years, even after i brought my second PC after some months .. i used the old one, to learn programing …
Next – my second PC and learning …
