Heh, I never had a C64 or an Amiga (god I wanted one though). I had a Eagle PC (one of the first IBM clones) 8088, 2 floppy drives and an external 40meg drive that took up half a desk. Man would that thing play Zork well! hahahaha. I did have a Atari 2600 for gaming...fixed it too many times to remember. Then came the PCjr...you guys remember that IBM flop? It had cartrige slots in the front....had a fun football game I used to play all the time.
Now, I've only got "newer" stuff. 2 Sun Sparc Server 1000s, a Sun Ultra 1, a Toshiba Satellite Pro 480CDT, a Dell Dimension 8000, a P3 Gigherz and a AMD 2100+ XP (serious gaming machine, 512 ram, Gforce 4 4600ti, etc).
