I don't mean to piss everyone off..........
This is a discussion about I don't mean to piss everyone off.......... in the Slack Space category; Haven't you noticed that all of the questions asked here are all about Windows 2000 and the errors it has or is given out to people. Some games don't work, hardware doesn't work, BSOD, illegal operations, sudden changes in the OS.
Haven't you noticed that all of the questions asked here are all about Windows 2000 and the errors it has or is given out to people. Some games don't work, hardware doesn't work, BSOD, illegal operations, sudden changes in the OS. Just goes to show that the OS isn't very good. I "was" using Windows 2000 awhile ago and got rid of it because it simply stinks. I rather have better compatibility in return for the odd error or two, then have a stable OS and nothing working right. That's why it's stable, cause they made sure next to nothing works on it, they "babied" it to get it working right. Crappy apps, games and hardware support, but it's stable. Now i like Windows 2000 because of it's features, but if w2k is not going to run programs well then forget it. There was only 1 program, one that i use a lot, called RPGMaker 95. I was done testing all of my games and apps with windows 2000 and discovered they all ran, last proggy on the list was RPG Maker, go to start it, doesn't work. Because of 1 program not running, which happened to be the one i use a lot, i had to uninstall windows 2000.

My machine (1990):
80286 12 Mhz
1MB Ram (120ns)
20MB HDD (Seagate 225 MFM)
MFM HD Controller
VGA Video Card (256KB, 800*600/16 colors! - Wow!)
Adlib soundcard (the original, not the lame rip off called Soundblaster )
14" Multisync monitor 1024*786 interlace or 800*600
OS: MS Dos 4.01/Windows 3.0
Remember the Sierra adventures? I found this nice Sierra soundtrack site http://www.queststudios.com/quest/sierrap1.html
Wow! There are also a few MP3 recorded from a Roland MT32/LAPC1 sound card. Now I finally know that my Adlib was crap

Quote:PCTOOLS??? That sound kinda familiar but I forgot what it was meant for.
Was like Norton Utilities.

Umm...interesting..I was lucky enough to have a 386DX as my first PC...the specs.....:
Amptron Motherboard
386DX40
Super huge Seagate 128Mb HDD
4Mb Ram (Increased to 8Mb because I need to run Simcity 2000)
ATI Wonder XL (something like that!)
14" Mag SVGA Monitor (Wow, SVGA!!!)
No Modem
No Sound Card
Having a CD-ROM Drive was a dream
Do you remember, in the old days, you have to use 11 disks to install WP51??

IBM PS/2 Model 286-30
12Mhz 286 CPU
30Mb HDD
13" IBM monitor with a .42 dot pitch (talk about going blind)
And PC Tools definitely ruled! It was a combination utilities/dosshell, but *highly* configurable. Like a combination of Magellan and Norton Utilities.

Does a Commodore 64 count as a first computer?
If so, put me down wiht that(With the Atari keyboard so I could play pacman)
Otherwise, Packard Bell 386/25 with 2 MB RAM and a 125MB hdd
(Incidentally, my parents then moved 3 years later to a Packard Bell P1/100 with 16MB RAM and a 1GB drive, then a Hewlett Packard Athlon 700 this year...So many Packards, so little...whatever)

Try to beat this one:
1975
- barebone pcb
- Motorola 6809 8-bit 2 MHz processor
- 2 KO memory
- hexadecimal keypad
- 4 7-segment led displays
- a few relays to control external stuff
- one serial interface
- sheet of paper as mass storage medium
- asm or some symbolic instructions language I do not remember
You will understand why Whistler does not impress me so much

My first computer was a Commodore 64..... it's sad to think that even my TI-86 is more powerful than that!
I remember when I got my first hard drive... I was cruisin' on a 286 with a 20mb drive... and I doubled that using DoubleSpace!

Only if your load the program from your second drive.
The first drive is 8.
load "program",8,1
run
and to load the directory of the disk:
load "$",8
list

1985:
Amstrad CPC64
Z80 @ 4 MHz
64 K ram
Tape drive
4-channel sound
OS: Locomotive Basic
1986:
Amstrad CPC128
same as above plus:
128 K ram
3 inches floppies
OSes: CPM 3.3 or Locomotive Basic
Alot of apps, even a C-basic compiler!
I already had a mouse and an external 5"1/4 floppy drive hooked to the box.
It was a fantastic machine for the time, with alot of add-ons available (serial interface, joysticks, modems, etc.)
It was faster than an IBM Pc!

Z80 4mhz? Wow. That's what powered the TI-81....scary.
How long before we see Athlon 1.4 ghz in calculators?

...and the C64 has 1Mhz
