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 got this as a hand-me-down. It was a family friends laptop he split wine on so the keeb, mouse, and battery didn't work.
we were
but I managed to scrounge together external keyboard and mice to use. I put so many linux distros on the things because the family friend had an old Fedora install on it.

Prior we had a Dell prebuilt that ran Windows XP, I cut my teeth with Pokémon hacking with that.
I do have an 8-bit collection though. I've got a C64, VIC-20, TI-99\4A, TRS-80 and an Apple II+
