My first was an IBM model 55, 20 meg hardrive, 286 processor. Had to add a 1 mg memory stick that cost $600

I still boot it up for legacy DOS games like Duke Nukum.

Intel 33? What was I thinking? It was the 286 processor. Windows 3.0 Didn't even go there. Xtree Gold in DOS was my file manager. Didn't see the point of windows until 3.1.

I built so many computers during the 90's for my teenage son and myself that I lost count. Now I just wait for them to crash before I get a new one.
