Oh the memories! :lol:

Hell yea, that brings back memories. Did you ever play Myst or X-Wing and have to load 10 discs to play them? lol



Or the Zipdrives.

I remember Tie Fighter had a dozen or so disks. Those really were the days. :)

I remember using 5.25" floppies and tearing the perforated edges off the paper out of the dot-matrix printer. Oh, and programming in Basic.

I remember all of that. Dont think I ever bought RAM though for that much money. I always stuck with what my computer came with and waited awhile before prices came down. My first PC was a Gateway with windows 98 on it. :thumbdown:

I had to upgrade my ram quite a few times on my 386 and even add a math co-processor in order to run CAD efficiently.

I still have several functioning ESDI hard drives, my 12MHz compaq SLT286 and collection of AT boards, 486sx and back.

I remember upgrading my 386 with an Evergreen 586.

I remember buying books of games that I had to program myself in BASIC to play on this beautiful bastard:

I used to love playing California Games on my friend's Commodore 64. I had a Texas Instrument (TI-99) with Hunt the Wumpus, TI Invaders, Q-Bert, Car Wars, Munch Man.
