Lilly. I gotta talk to Jim about changing my name. It’s who I feel I am inside... ;)

I miss my amy to this day. I had a 1200 with an accelerator board and a math coprocessor. Every morning was christmas. you set up a 3D render at 320x240 and hit start. the next morning you had a raytraced mirrorball ;)

Today my PC runs Skyrim at 1900x1700 at 60 frames a second in 24 bit color...And I remember the dreams I had of one day owning a $50,000 Silicon Graphics Onyx system...

A mighty 6 MIPS if memory serves.

lol

It is amazing the things that cost so much then would be cheap now.

I remember seeing an external CD-R for a thousand or two dollars I think, that was early 90’s I think.... now laptops have DVD-RW built in standard or have bypassed them completely.
