I remember the 286, 386, 486 days...


I don't really remember those days because my school system purcased Apple II's and stocked their elementary schools and middle schools with them. (I guess they though the IBM clones were too hard for children) My first experience with a IBM clone was in middle school in 1990 so it was probally a 286 or 386, my grandmother bought me a book with stupid programs. One of them was a TSR and when the librarian had me remove the programs after playing with them, bricked their system. Though my first experience with a compture was a TI-.... forgot the model number I would intensionally get detentions to stay in the classroom to play frogger on that. My high school was like stepping back in time they had 8088's for the bulk of their systems. Then they moved to getting 13 486-dx computers. At the time I had my first computer it was a DX2 stocked with all the games you could get your hands on. I loved Commander Keen.
