I am still fond of my Apple IIGS..I was irate when my father gave it away to my niece and then years later my mother saved it from being thrown out by my sister-in-law and gave it back to me.

my 286 still runs fine, which is more than I can say for my 1.4 ghz machine (HD died)

Of course, it can't do anything compared to this new one (but it can play Commander Keen, Cosmo and Duke Nukem 1 and 2

)

I am still fond of the 286 too..............Very solid for word processing and simple, yet strategic games.........

Liked the C64 at first but then got an Amiga... so.. Amiga

(especially for what it could do with 7.14Mhz of CPU.. and it's public domain and cracking scenes.)

http://www.old-computers.com is a nice site. I liked seeing all of the stuff I missed out on as a boy growing up.

My old Atari 800XL was a hoot and a half. I'd sit and program that thing for days on end - only to kill the power and watch hours of typing and debugging go down the tube.

My friend just gave me a 586 AMD pc 75 with a SoundBlaster 16 and a MSI made gfx card from 1995. Has 2hd's......one is 270mb, and the other is 470mb.......

HP's old Vectra VL 5/100 series 4, P1 100Mhz 64ram and no modem.

Old and slow but just won't stop. Been threw a fire, three droppings and a reinstall of win 95, and upgrade to win 98 and a CD-Rom, modem and monitor; along with 2 owners. It's a warhorse and a half.
Had it apart more times then i've used it and it still runs fine.... if only I could keep my relatives from erasing the hard drive.

Before that there is old trusty. A 386SX that originated in my towns bank 17-18 years ago. Been threw at least 3 owners and runs Win 3.1 clasic, on 180-mb HD. Been threw who knows what else. Origanaly ran Dos... Still working great...if icould only get programs small enough for it to run.:computer:
