I had several also. I had (going to age myself here) an apple IIC back in October of 1984. A now deuncft Zeos in 1991, a gateway in 95, a dell in 2000 and 2005 and now an Hp in 2012.
Still though prior to 1996 home computer still were not as mainstream as they would become due to the internet. If people did have a PC they were college students or their job required them to do work on them or just plain geeks who loved to tinker(mostly games) with them.
Now with students and people who do not really need the power of a pc, going to tablets, they will again become niche. Mostly for the nerds(extreme gamers) and businesses that need the processing power of a pc.
