Re: OT: Complete the following statement, "My first computer was a..."
It was an IBM PC-AT, with a whopping 6MHz 80286 processor! Had the math co-processor, a Finnish-made EGA monitor (sold by IBM), a 20MB hard drive, and some sort of IBM graphics card that I could never find the piggy-back card for to increase the memory. I bought this sucker NEW in 1984, and with the fancy dot-matrix printer I picked out, the whole system came to well over $6,000.00. Still, I used the darn thing right up until about 1995 when someone gave me an old 386, which I then upgraded to a 486 DX2-66. Oh, and I bought one of those TI-99 something-or-other programmable calculators when I was in grad school about 1979. My god that case weighed a ton - it was built like they were gonna install it on Army tanks - who knows, maybe they did!

Re: OT: Complete the following statement, "My first computer was a..."
you know maybe its just me, I had fun playing oregon trail on the Apple ][e, but man, I sure as heck do not want to play it again. Ever. Unlike some of you weirdos here. Sorry, you'll never get me to use a computer without an AGP port man
and what the heck just happened with my computer?
Windows says that I have run out of stack sp's or something. ? Terminating a thread or some stuff. Well, I guess the apple ][e was good for something, then.

p75 Acer 4x CDROM with a 14" monitor. 4 megs of ram and a 850 meg HD. I paid $1,800 bucks for it and only wanted it so I could play Dark Forces.
Now, 4 computers later, I have AMD 1.4 ghz Atholon, MSI Main, 512 Megs DDR-Ram, 30 Gig HD, Geforce 3 video card, Sony CD-RW, Creative Labs DVD Rom, Creative Sound BLaster Live with MS dirct sound system and a 19" Sylvania monitor. Bunch of extra's too, but who cares.
