I think my first upgrade was a Diamond Monster 3d video card with 4MB of RAM on it, for like $200.00!!
My first actual computer was a Tandy 3 Color that I had during the 80's thanks to my mother being a computer geek in the military.
I'm only 23 yet I've had computers in the household my whole life, now that I think about it I don't remember really not having a computer. Which is unusual for people born in the late 70's, early 80's.
