    I was actually lucky enough to have a father who worked with computers quite a bit... mostly light graphical design and presentations for his company... because of that, we got all sorts of expensive computer junk as a "work expense."

    I was one of the lucky ones lol

    Lucky you. I still dont know how my brother got the cash to buy that CDrom drive. My dad was into computers too. Thanks to him I got to enjoy the golden era of PC gaming.

    Not I.  I had a Packard Bell Navigator 486/25, 4 mb ram, 512k video ram, and a 2x cd drive.  T7G ran great.  11th hour on the other hand....
