Ahhh, old technology

I just had to boot up one of my previous desktop PCs. It's 6x86MX PR266 with 64 Mb of RAM and Windows 95B on it.

I can't believe I actually worked from that PC for nearly two years.

EDIT--The thing has a 2.0 gig hard drive. Oh my.

Bah!

I used a 386DX /25mhz with a whopping 8 MB RAM (upgraded from 2 MB) and a 80 MB HD for *years*. It ran DOS 5.0 and dual-booted to OS/2.

Interestingly, both DOS and OS/2 ran far more stably than my current Windows machine...

Well met!

Poor Stan. Er, hmmm, I won't post my current specs, then.

I am ashamed to have complained.

Man, I'm really starting to feel badly about what I do have in my office now. I'm fortunate, I guess.
