First PC I used was a Commodore 64 back in about 1986 with a 5 1/4 drive and this puppy was well setup t even had a tape drive for storage, the kind that used the regular audio cassettes. It was the bomb!!!!

Then i upgraded to a Tandy 1000TX
With 768kb of upgraded RAM
this puppy had both a 5 1/4 & a 3 1/2" floppy drives (LOW DENSITY) do you guys even know what that is ?
20gb Hard Drive
16 color EGA - (Everybody else was rocking 4 color CGA or Monochrome) This was Hype !!
2400 bps modem - Ahh.. the good old 2400 days of using CSS BBS & COLIS.
(I even had my own BBS running for a while (JAMNET BBS) dont know if any of you guys know bout that one.

How many people on here used to use BBS's back in the DAY?
