Mine was 386 with B/W monitor for Rs. 2500 in 1997-98. I think it was having Microsoft Windows OS, I remember playing solitaire and minesweeper on it.
My mom got in a lucky draw where they were disposing off old computers from her office.

Ofcourse, experience was not smooth (though I was very happy that there is a computer in my house, chalta nahi toh kya hua ). Initially, we got held because her office had not told her about the password of that PC. After we received the password, within 1 month, the motherboard gave up. We did not repair it then. I still have the monitor to be used in emergency.

After that we bought a new PC in March 2003(the one which I am using now)

Oh I missed this thread!

I had a 4mhz XT machine, some 640kb or so RAM, a 40MB odd hard disk and a CGA monitor! My dad had paid a fortune for it!!!!

Then I upgraded to an AMD 386DX system wid 4MB RAM wid a VGA monitor, 500mb hdd etc. and had got the Creative multimedia kit wid a 1x CDROM, Soundblaster soundcard, speakers, mic and loads of CDs. I was also given some certificate or something for being on of the first customers in India to get the creative multimedia kit! I still haf those things preserved while the computer is non-existent!
