What kind of home computer did you and your family use? How powerful was it? What kind of programs did you run?
My family's first computer was an Amiga 500. I used to play Capone and F/A-18 Interceptor on it. My parents never used it for work.
It had a 7MHz CPU, 512kb of RAM, and no hard disk. Every program had to be loaded from a floppy disk.
It ran on a proprietary operating system called AmigaOS, also loaded from a floppy disk each time.

I think a Dell with a Pentium D in like 2006. I was a freshman in high school iirc.
Neither of my parents had jobs that required computers and were not interested in them and basically said we could type our papers at the library or at school lol. Plus we were rurals so the internet was garbage here until like 2011 when they put fiber in my area.
