I ordered a new computer online yesterday. It's a Dell 1.8 Ghz P4, with a large, fast hard drive and a nice video card. In the past, I've always built my own computers, but it was CHEAP (about $700), and I couldn't have built it for that price. My first computer was an IBM with a 8088 processor that I boosted from 4.7 Mhz to about 6 Mhz. It originally had only 2 floppy drives, the large 5-1/4" ones, and 640K of RAM. I had a 1200 baud modem, and was online before there was an internet. I was a member of a bbs, and we used to remotely link our computers to swap files. I used it, upgraded it, and felt so cool when I bought a used 386-DX20. Over the years I've accumulated a lot of computer hardware, and everything I've saved is now obsolete. I have an old Apple Lisa, (pre-Macintosh) that is actually becoming a museum piece.
