My first was either an Apple II+, or an IBM 5110. Both of which I still
have (I don't know if the II+ is the exact same unit as we had many of
them and some have been tossed).
My only issue is, which was it. When did the 5110 come out? I know the
Apple II+ was bought by my brother in 1978 (I had always remembered 1977,
but IIRC, the II Plus wasn't released until 78, and I'm sure it was a
Plus, not a regular II).
So if the 5110 was earlier than 78, I'd have to say it was the first
computer I saw and used.
