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.

It was beige, had AOL dialup which I wasn't allowed to use bc they charged by the minute, and constantly froze/crashed. It was on some super
early version of a microsoft 
OS.
My parents said they didn't want to upgrade because the internet
was useless, all they needed was a word processor, and that I should 
just read more books.
