    CS> RIGHT! I just wrote a post saying the same thing! first   
    CS> Computer/Desktop I actually BOUGHT was a Tandy 1000 SL, I was in High   
      
    Hmmm, started out with a mighty MC10 from Radio Shak, worked my way up to a    
   Color computer 1 and then finally 3.  Ran a unix clone OS on that and even had    
   a dialup   
   board on that one.  Great fun those days... multi user multi tasking    
   environment on an 8 bit machine. :)

    CS> saw the NEW PC he just bought, If I remember, he paid a little over   
    CS> 3000 for it! Wish I could remember the name, but it wasn't Tandy and it   
    CS> was all black and SOOO pretty! He let me play around with it for a bit,   
    CS> Man...I wanted to move in, and I wanted him to adopt me!!  It was   
    CS> the first time I saw Windows in action!   
      
    heheheh, was pretty amazing way back in the day when you didn't have to use    
   the command prompt for everything.   
      
    CS> When I finally left (It was over hr later!) I got to setting up my new   
    CS> PC, and my 'new' PC was faster than my dad's, but slower than the guy I   
    CS> bought it from, That's when I got into upgrading/overclocking!   
      
    Yep.. those were the days when you had to pretty much know what you were    
   doing  no plug and play with those puters. :)   
      
    CS> ...man... PC'ing back then was so great....
