Now son, I've told you not to bring that up. But you know perfectly well
that the first computer in the house was the dirt floor. Never could recover
any deleted files from that old computer, and the graphics did kinda suck
;-)

Dirt floor?! Luxury! Back when I were a lad, if I wanted to render a 3d
scene, or indulge in some CAD, I had to carve it all out onto our solid
granite block with my tongue! It was embedded with bits of broken glass I
might add! The rich people had 'dirt' floors to display *their* PowerPoint
presentations!

A Tandy-1000 EX, 256K mem., no hard drive, 1 low density 5 1/4 floppy.
Still have it, still works, although it doesn't do Windows very well

Same here. Boy, was I in heaven when they made that multi-port hookup and
sound effects cartridge. I also liked the music emulation cartridge. You
could make some kick-ass music with that thing.

Abacus. Replaced the plastic balls with high-density brass and the
cheap string with quality cat gut. It overclocked like a bitch.
