lol, never thought I'd hear that name again. I don't know what kind it was, but we recieved my uncle's old Tandy. It took FOREVER to load things. I remember we had a game package that was had a bunch of card games and once you picked your game and character, it'd take at least 5-10 minutes until you could actually play lol. We also had this one game called Dangerous Dave. lol, we put tons of time into that game.

Along with a good old line printer that was as loud as a jet flying by. Fun times, just like those who think back to playing tons of NES games.

 

yeah, that was a rad machine, didn't have money for computers growing up, so i would beg systems from people throwing them away, in fact my new computer had been abandoned by it's owner cuz i had 50 some viruses, i told them i would fix it but they didn't want it, so i ran the HP system restore program on startup and put it back to factory spec. Heck i was using a AMD K6-2 @ 500MHz and 128 MB of ram with Windows ME before this machine, and that was 2006.

BTW i have many old machines now, TI 99-4/a, Commodore 64 and the scary thing is the Tandy still works, it's under plastic 3 feet from me as a type.

 

 That was my first machine loved that thing. I wasted may hours of my youth on Parsec.

 

 

Id really like to build a new machine but I'm taped for cash. I wish someone would make an enthusiats micro-ATX board. I'd like to shove it in one of these.

 

I hear DFI is comming out with a dual 16x crossfire Micro_atx board but I'm not thrilled with DFI as a company.
