I can still fondly remember the first beige box I called my very own. It was an x286 based machine that smoked at an incredible 12 MHz after pressing the turbo switch. Multimedia was handled by an Ad Lib sound card and an EGA graphics card. It didn't have an optical drive but it did have a pair of disk drives; a 5.25" 1.2 megabyte floppy and the cutting edge 3.5" 1.44 megabyte drive. For a hard drive, I had the biggest that was available at the time I made my purchase A 20 Megabyte Seagate that earned me a lot of sarcasm from my friends. Yes, I can still remember Bill and Neil hounding me with "Why did you get something that big, you'll never fill it up?"
