Wonder how you got a Pentium II two years before it was released?
Anyway, started with a Commodore 64 myself (with 64KB of memory), and recently built a PC with 12GB of memory.
That's around 180000 times more memory now compared to back then!

First computer I remember playing with was an old IBM my dad had bought back in 1986 (same year I was born :P). It was bad ass because i had a dual floppy drive :P. I had a double sided hand written sheet of instructions just so I could turn it on and boot up WordStar to type up homework :P.
Finally got a computer upgrade in 6th grade (1997ish) to an HP with windows 98 SE (Hell of a jump :P). Don't remember the CPU but i do remember it had 64mb of ram and a 4gig hdd (still have the hdd somewhere, think it even works still :P).
Now I have a C2D E8400, 2gigs of ram, and 2.5TB of space in my main machine :P.
I still remember my first CD player too. Back when a really cheap one on sale was ~$60 or so I finally convinced my parents to buy me one or my birthday. It skipped if you looked at it funny and went through batteries like a fat boy at a cupcake factory, but I loved it :D.
