1985 ~ My First Computer ~ IBM PCjr ~ 64KB Memory ~ Color Monitor ~ No Hard Drive IBM gave us a discount but the full System still cost $750 with Monitor |
| 1985 ~ Later added a 20MB Hard Drive and a 128KB Memory Module |
|
1987 ~ Not sure when I bought this one ~ IBM PS2 I remember it wouldn't do all that much and cost way too much I think the list price on mine was $6,500 but with IBM discount it was something like plus $4,000 This pic is not mine, I found it online |
|
1990 ~ Later an IBM PC ~ A Bit more Memory ~ Faster Processor ~ Larger Hard Drive ~ External Speakers and a Dot Matrix Printer |
|
1998 ~ Then my First Compaq ~ All I remember was it had a 386 Processor and larger Hard Drive And a New IBM Proprinter Dot Matrix Printer |
| 1998 ~ Brought the Compaq with me when I moved to Parkville |
|
2003 ~ Then a Newer ~ Better ~ Faster Compaq and an HP Ink Jet Printer and New Scanner Now had two computers to play with Scanner on the right |
|
2003 ~ Then I had a problem with the Compaq... Didn't use it much anyway So I gave it to my Neighbor BJ who had it repaired and he used it for some time after that My scanner now on the left here |
|
2005 ~ Sometime around 2005 I wanted a new HP Media Center Computer Found a good price at Best Buy ~ added a Web Cam |
| 2005 ~ Then upgraded to Flat Panel Monitors and added another Web Cam |
|
2005 ~ The 2005 HP with a new HP 19 inch monitor Added memory to 1 GB Maximum Still my main Internet computer but can't be upgraded to burn Blu-ray DVDs |
|
And my original Scanner gave up and I bought a newer better one The new one cost less than the original |
|
Then I decided I needed a Photo Printer Ordered this HP Photosmart Photo Printer Sometime later my original HP Injet printer passed away |
|
2007 ~ Next Windows Vista came out in 2007 and I wanted to try it So instead of upgrading my 2005 Box, I bought a new one (center) with Vista installed This then was my Photo and Video machine |
|
2007 ~ This Computer came with an external Media Drive slot so I ordered one The first Media Drive was a 160GB capacity |
|
2009 ~ I bought a new HD Video Camera and I wanted to burn Blu-ray DVDs with the HD video it made So, to this 2007 HP I added Memory to the Max of 4GB, a new Video Card |
| 2009 ~ Adding 2 GB of Memory to the 2007 Media Center HP bringing the total memory to 4GB |
|
2009 ~ Added a more powerful Graphics card for Blu-ray burning |
|
2009 ~ Added an LG Blu-ray multi Drive to burn Blu-ray DVDs |
|
2009 ~ Then a friend's computer gave out and as I wasn't using the Compaq much, so I gave it to him Back to using two computers, one for Internet, the other for Graphics, Photos and Video and upgraded the 2007 HP to Windows 7 |
|
2010 ~ And then I saw this HP Pavilion Elite in PC World magazine and I had to have that
So I custom ordered it with everything I wanted... Quad Core Intel processor, 9GB of Memory, 1TB Hard Drive, TV Tuner, Blu-ray DVD Burner, Windows 7 21 1/2 inch HD Monitor, HDMI input Full HD 1920X1080 resolution Just everything I wanted and didn't need... The Older 2007 HP could do all that I needed But this one does everything better! |
