But yeah, we got wooped last night, great second half for the Blues, and I have to admit for his debut - El Masri played absolutely awesome! Great kicking.

I have a Packard Bell Platinum 1560, I am not sure how old it is but the sticker on front brags about a 2.5 gig hard drive,
a 166 Mhz Intel processor and 32 mb of ram upgradeable to 128 mb.

The first computer my family got was in 1999 from some close friends, it had DOS I believe and dated back before I was born (1989), I can't remember the exact date though I think it was 1985, it even had a turbo button! Though I don't know what this did, the hard drive was large with only MBs of storage. It had the real HUGE floppys discs, not the compact floppy disc we used later on. Shame to say I no longer have this computer (threw that one out a month ago), if I did I would crack it open to take a closer look.

Those large disks (5 1/4 inch) stored 360K. I cannot remember if that was high density or double density.... I know that would have been double sided. I'd LOVE to get my hands on one of those...I still have stuff on 5 1/4 inch floppies that I'd like access to. *realizes how this post looks*
It's stuff from my great grandfather when he was a kid... and I'm just telling stories I heard him telling grandpa....about 8088 and 8086 and that newfangled "fire" and "Wheel" do-hickey.
How many here fully realize windows 98 isn't 10 years old yet?

Recently, I was asked to work on a system by a friend. It was her grandmother's. A 66mhz Pentium. I waited, waited, and waited for it to boot, and then said, no thanks!
