Must be a flashback
Hi met !
Nothing will EVER top the Packard Bell desktop computer a couple of years ago that sold for: $3100 !!!!!! Yes, that was Thirty One Hundred Dollars, American. Plain old 486 Packard Bell desktop. It was purchased with the buy it now option !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mentioned it on the ng at the time, posted links, and when I kept following up on the thing, the person actually left feedback, which means some idiot actually bought/paid for it. Or, it was an elaborate hoax. Which frankly makes more sense. I could build a couple of dozen Legendary 486 computers, with all kinds of Rare and Valuable software. I should get right on this. :-) -- boBWatts®© EartH Watts Carburetion Service Whizzbang Computers Official collector of: transfat asian plastic junk trinkets ! "metronid" wrote in message ...

Except for a computer museum, what would somebody do with an old PB 486 running
Windows 3.1? What do you guys do with yours? You have your own computer museums, don't you? ...

As it is, the BODADC ( Basement of Doom and Diet Cola ) has an embarrassing amount of computers and parts and stuff in it. What do I do with the 8088, 286, 386, 486, old Pentiums, old AMD, etc. ? Look at 'em. :-) Once you start using a 1GHz, 2GHz, 3GHz, 4GHz computer, it's hard to go backwards, except for nostalgia. Still, I monitor newsgroups who are FANATICS about their old computer. I won't type which ones. ( for fear of being "hit". :-) My fascination with the PB is a simple one. I have always liked the looks of the case. From 1995 on, I thought they were neato looking. Still do. -- boBWatts®© EartH Watts Carburetion Service Whizzbang Computers Official collector of: transfat asian plastic junk trinkets ! |
