Ah...my first time, you ask?  Oh the memories.

It was in the spring of '89...I was just finishing my first semester of college when I met her, there, in the corner of that computer store.  She was sitting on a clean white table, looking like she'd been sitting there all day waiting just for me.

I sat down in front of her.  God, I thought.  She's so beautiful...so talented...too much for me to handle.  I bet she can tell how nervous I am.

I felt bold.  But not bold enough.   I sat there next to her, and felt as if she was saying "Go ahead, silly.  I don't bite."

I gently slid the mouse across the screen and opened her Deluxe Paint.  Oh...oh God the things she showed me.  I wanted her, then.  I wanted to take her home and ... do things with her.  I wanted to create new vistas and explore things as I never had before.  But the price.  It was more than I could pay.  Or was it?

I considered the worldly things I'd been waiting for, and put them aside, mentally.

We went home together, and I laid her down gently on the bed, slowly removing every covering until she sat exposed in front of me.  I traced every line with my fingertip, feeling the lambent power like scenting a heady perfume...

In the time we had together I saw more in those short years than I had in the decade I'd spent with others before her.  Others came after her - younger, faster, sexier.  But I'll never forget her, my first Amiga 500.
