    hahaha that is awesome. Seeing Hexen brought back some memories. Also my parents had that 133mhz HP (err packard bell)... What was that awesome skiing game that came on Windows 95 computers???

    Funny to think now the phone in my pocket has better specs than those machines.

    I was just talking to my mom about that... Remember back in the day before the interwebz? I remember- and I know not how old I was- when my mom first came home with our first modem. She required a modem hookup for work (as she did a lot from home) and it always tied up the phone lines. Gosh back then porn didn't even have videos online, it was just pictures but it was free!

    Oh and it was 1000's less than any mac at the time so I think it was well worth it

    Yea but whos os still needs 50,000 firewalls and anti-virus software?

    Anyway I can see the point but as a person who works on windows and other platforms, I prefer Macs and see the value in them.

    Oh and btw Ford & Glock

    hahahaha... I remember when you couldn't find whatever you wanted on the internet. We had only 1 phone line so I'm totally familiar with the issues that a 14.4 modem caused around the house. I remember when I found animated porn .gifs..... It made me realize that the web was going to be the next big thing

    Decent II was fun. I worked in the computer department at a Best Buy in 93 and 1994. I remember when the very first Pentium machines arrived, it was from Packard Bell and was one of the 60Mhz ones. First box we opened and the CPU was loose on the inside, having flown around the inside of the case during shipping was totally destroyed. The "Fast" ones were a blazing 90Mhz.
