   RIGHT! I just wrote a post saying the same thing! first Computer/Desktop I   
   actually BOUGHT was a Tandy 1000 SL, I was in High School. I had a summer job   
   and I saved as much as I could so I could buy my own PC instead of sharing my   
   Dad's!  This guy in a rich area, who used to call my BBS, gave me a GREAT   
   "deal' on a used Tandy! He was upgrading and let me have his old one for 1500!   
   It was only like 3 years old, and I forgot, but I knew it was worth way more   
   than that! I felt like I hit the lottory!  I went to his house to pick it up,   
   and I saw the NEW PC he just bought, If I remember, he paid a little over 3000   
   for it! Wish I could remember the name, but it wasn't Tandy and it was all   
   black and SOOO pretty! He let me play around with it for a bit, Man...I wanted   
   to move in, and I wanted him to adopt me!!  It was the first time I saw   
   Windows in action!   
      
   When I finally left (It was over hr later!) I got to setting up my new PC, and   
   my 'new' PC was faster than my dad's, but slower than the guy I bought it   
   from, That's when I got into upgrading/overclocking!   
      
   ...man... PC'ing back then was so great....
