Are you sure you're not sitting on it?
 
Whilst on this nostalgia trip - I started thinking "what did I have before my 486 / PC".
Turns out it was an Atari ST - which is still sat on a shelf in my Office - and still works - Well it did a year ago when I last fired it up for a bit of retro gaming.

Ah - happier, simpler times :)
My first one was an Apple IIe with an extra Z80 card and USCD Pascal - at that time it was double as old than me, but I learned so much from this quite old computer, which I just wouldn't have learned, if my parents would have given me a brand new machine first. One of the positives of that was that I learned how to use assembler (6502, 8080/Z80) and modular software design (due to how UCSD Pascal was structured) - these were my first 2 years owning a computer, then my parents bought me a brand new machine - what a difference, but I would have never appreciated it that much without the experience with the Apple IIe. One of the things remaining from that time - i write compact code with a low memory footprint and I'm still writing some code segments in assembler.
