Boy this brings back some good and bad memories... My first computer was an 8086 running at 8mhz with 640k of memory with an addon memory card, a whopping 20Mb hard drive running DOS 3.0. B/W 14inch monitor with little or no graphics capability. Probably one of the best machines I ever owned. Never had any problems with it. From there it was just a progression.. 286 running at 12mhz a 386 that was a total piece of sh**! a 486sx with my first color monitor and graphics!! a P1 200mhz MMX system that I still have and runs great a P2 400mhz Celeron that was a total waste of money. to my 2 current systems both 1Gb Athlon with 1Gb ram As a sign of the times, I paid less for my 2 current systems combined than I did for the P2 system.
