      Yea, a Commode C64.   
      I got my Commodore in 1986 and around 1988/89 my first modem, a 300   
   baud, after I found out about local boards and later the wider world of Fido.   
      I used the Commie until c. 1995 when I bought a used IBM 286.   
      Around 1998 I got a used 486, with Window 95.  The case had been damaged   
   but the innards were fine.   
     Around 2000 I got a used 486 with Win98.   
     The older 486 had given up the ghost and the pc shop I used had the Win98   
   on sale.   
     I've only brought two new PC's, a HP in January of '09 and this one last   
   February, also a HP.  IIRC the 486 was a HP.   
     To me HP's are the best.  But then that's a Ford/Chevy thing.

   help connecting back up (c/w a new 21" CRT for SVGA graphics)   
      
      Maybe you can find someone with one to transfer all that over.   
      I recall wondering how in the world a little 3.5 could hold as much   
   information as a 5.25 then later how in the world could a thumb hold more than   
   a   
   3.5?  If this keeps up it will someday be how much information can be held   
   on a grain of sand.  :)
