Nostalgia

[artaxerxes]

So, I was digging around and I found some old hardware. Like a 125 mb hard drive, and a 500 something mb hard drive. I found several other random parts from many old systems I had. Great memories! Like Windows 3.1, Mac OS v.? (really old), DOS, BASIC, Batch files, Linux trials, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? I hope I'm not dating myself here. My first system was back in... well it only had DOS on it, and it couldn't support the 'new' Windows (or so it said). Compared to those hours messing around on DOS, Linux terminals, etc. Now I take a look at my phone and realize, wow things have changed (and I'm still messing around on Linux). I got a magazine from 1984, and in it is an advert for the fastest computer ever (supposedly). Oh what a laugh when I found it (the mag) a couple weeks ago. Anyway. Sorry, is this weird?

I found a really old computer running Windows 3.1 in the attic today. Brings back memories as it has some really awesome games on it.

I still have my IBM 380XD Thinkpad with a 266mhz cpu, 96mb of ram and a 10gb hard drive. I didn't buy it new but I've had it for around 10 years or so and I hardly use it now but I may blow the dust off of it. Its got Win98 and Debian Linux on it.

Not to me. I've got a box up in my attic space that's full of redundant/obsolete kit that I can't bring myself to throw away.
