It seems like only yesterday I had to upgrade from my reliable VIC-20 to a Commodore 64, and now this! That does it, I'm going with an Amiga 500. I bet there are some used ones on the market in my price range by now.
I had worked with a couple of DOS and Windows 3.1 systems beforehand, but the first computer I actually owned was a 120 Pentium with a "whopping" 1GB HD and 16mb of ram, with a whole 1mb dedicated to graphics. This was in late 1995 and it ran this newfangled OS called Windows 95. Along with a 15" monitor and a cannon color printer, it set me back about 3 grand, which was literally more than I had paid for the car I was driving.
Turned out to be one of the best investments I ever made, but at the time it totally wiped out my savings of the past several years.

Exactly. I don't mind shoveling coal into the back of my computer, makes me feel needed.
