RE: My first computer was the one that everyone returned: Coleco ADAM
I feel fortunate in that my first computer was a Commodore 64 (I see from the picture you have one too). I didn't get mine until about 1986 though. I even had a modem for mine probably by 1989...
Sweet! Funny, even though you got the 64 late, it was (in my opinion) on par with the NES. I didn't get a modem and go online until 1990 when I got an IBM PS/1 and Prodigy.
While I eventually got a modem for my Commodore. I didn't really start spending significant time online until 1993 when I got my first PC (a 486 DX2-66 from Gateway). That was near the height of the BBS but also getting close to the end. In a few years, everybody would be getting on the internet and BBSes would mostly disappear.
