Nobody can top the QUAD-SPEED CD-ROM!!! Not even good enough for a burner. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Compaq MV720 (Windows 98).. What a piece of crap computer that was

Just booted up the Dell Latitude XPi laptop ('95 vintage, 120MHz Pentium I)...still use it for amateur radio stuff occasionally. You don't need a lot of processing power for that, just something that can be dedicated to a single task or two and left alone.

Compaq Presario 2200 (Desktop Case)

Windows 98

Intel Cyrix @ 225Mhz

4GB HD

128 MB RAM (Stock was 64MB)

Rockwell 56k PCI Modem

All Onboard Video & Sound

Sony CD Burner and 3.5" drive (Upgraded from a standard CD Drive)

It's still used at my dad's shop for printing documents, and light record keeping.

I still have an old Mac Powerbook 5300ce here.

OS 8 and not a whole lot to it. No CD drive or anything.

I don't really use it a whole lot. Mainly just to mess around on.

Also have an old Home Built Machine working quite well.

Mid Tower

PIII OC'd to 784MHz

Windows XP Pro and Windows 2k Pro

384 MB RAM

80GB HD

40GB HD

CDRW and DV Drives

3.5" Floppy

SoundBlaster Live 16 PCI

Onboard Video

Cnet NIC

Cnet 56k Data Fax Modem

I use this machine as a file server on my LAN.

It gets quite a good deal of heavy use and has always surpassed my expectations.

I've yet to figure it out, but this little 784Mhz PIII will run circles around the 2.2Ghz Celeron HP that's also sitting here. (I doubt the extra Cache would completely do it.)

Either way, it's a darn good machine.

I still remember when the CD-ROM was "The latest thing!"

And now to really show my age:

I remember when the 3.5" Floppy was "The latest thing!"

I remember things before RISC. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

and.....

I remember Bill Gates holding up that 5.25" True Floppy Disc, and proudly saying, "640k ought to be enough for anyone."

That wouldn't even be that bad, if you wern't using Win98.

i actually prefer 98, or 2000 server...
