Hi. My name is Dakota, and I am 21 years old. I have been interested in computers ever since I can remember, Of course, it helps when one of my uncles is also a computer geek. The first computer I can remember is a Sony Vaio laptop that I was given in 2006. I remember playing my first computer game on it. The game was called "Thomas and Friends: Trouble on the Tracks." I remember that laptop having either Windows 95 or 98. The main thing I remember is the green background. I also remember using Word 97 and pretending it was the internet. I wish I could remember the exact model. I remember it was gray and had like a purple color on the touchpad. Unfortunately, the hinges broke and my Mom wouldn't let me keep it. I remember us having a Pentium 4 Gateway with Windows XP. I remember the computer was gray, but the monitor was beige. We used the monitor with our next computer. The monitor was a Gateway FPD-1520. The next computer I remember clearly was an eMachines ET1161-07. That computer had Windows Vista. We bought it in March of 2009. I loved that computer. In 2012, my uncle couldn't get it to work. In 2016, my uncle bought it down for me to look at because I wanted to see if I could get it to work. All that was wrong with it was the fact that my uncle put in a video card. When I unplugged the card, the computer worked perfectly. In 2017, I put Windows XP on it and it ran great. It even ran great with Windows 10. Unfortunately, when I put Windows 7 on it, things started going wrong. Sometimes, it would just start glitching out. Finally, one day, I think the power supply blew. I replaced it with a Dell Dimension 8400, which is still working. It is my secondary computer now that I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T420. It is so nice to use a ThinkPad again. At my Dad's house, I have a Dell Dimension 4400. These are most of my history with computers. It is good to be here
