our first computer was an IBM and cost roughly $5k

i remember learning how to run games from floppy disks (ms-dos confused me...a lot...but then, i was like 7)

my current computer only cost about $400 when it was all said and i hardly do anything that utilizes it to its maximum potential

^^ dos sucked, i remember using it some in middle school on a school computer to play civilization and sim ant...

we had a mac lc 475 at home, all 25 mhz of it.... but it ran pretty decent....

i would guess all the stuff in my computer costs ~700 or so.... or it did, not including display.... I do tend to push it some tho.... bf2142 and such....

meh

lol

i remember when the 'internet' consisted of a long piece of string and a pair of cans...
