You're hi-tech.

I'm still on this 8088 (512K RAM, 2x 360K floppies) with amber monochrome screen and 1200 baud modem.

As a kid, I used to lug around hand trucks full of the punch cards when he rented cpu time on saturdays & sundays. I was psyched when IBM came out with the 5110, which used the 11" floppy's.

Even better was the 8088's because for his product demo's I could carry 3 small packages instead of the 1 huge all-in-one machine. besides, formatting disks took 1 or 2 minute, compared to the 10-60 minutes on the 5110.

BTW, you sure do run nice graphics, etc. for an 8088, what kind of fuel do you put in it?

Did you rob a bank or something? Where'd you get the money to afford that expensive equipment?

He types on his sickly looking green screen while suffering with a 300 baud acoustic coupler.

I'm jealous!!
