Anyone remember the term "clone"? Remember when "hacker" was a term of high esteem? I actually know what it's like to be completely freaking thrilled just because I didn't have to use a boot floppy to boot up my computer!
Heh. I had an Apple II...might still have it....I had dual disk drives and full ram capacity and Spy vs Spy!!!
My next oldest are my two oldest laptops. One is a pre-dos Hitachi...needs a batter. It has no hard disk. The other is a 80286 Comaq. It runs at about 12mhz and has NEARLY 2mb of hard drive space. This "Laptop" is two and a half inches thick when closed. There is a space in the center to store a full size mouse. The keyboard detaches and has fold down feet so you can use it like a desktop. There is no built in mouse.
I have a closed stacked with old computers and laptops. Most of them are franken-ized. I had an old Unix server running all sorts of parts that didn't belong. The tower was nearly three feet tall. It had dual 80486 processors with massive heat sinks and big *** fans, together almost reaching 100mhz. It had 24mb RAM. It was a Diablo LAN party MACHINE! Even had a tape drive. That one...don't remember where it went, either.
Maybe I could sell all these antiques and buy my AMD FX53. If I'm lucky, I'll win the $6000 Falcon Northwest PC that PCGamer is giving away...
