Original post

I was looking around on youtube and this computer is very close to my first new one I bought in 1996. I had an old junker 386 someone gave me. Had win 3.1 on it. But I was hooked. I went to a Circuit City and bought a new NEC! Pentium 2 333 mhz had 8 megs of ram and from what I recall a 1.7 gig hd? a 100 meg zip. Win 95 was the shits back then. I do not remember what I paid for it, but it was on payments. I couldn't afford to buy it out right back then. Paid 20 bucks a month for dial up. And I was ready to shitpost.

I learned about Netscape browsers with the "gold" plugins. Never went back to Explorer after that. I ran that computer up until XP came out. I skipped 98 an Me. And I finally retired the NEC for an EMachine with XP. I still have that old EMachine around here somewhere, but sadly the NEC went to the junkyard.

Does anyone remember their first computers?

This one looks a little like my first new one, minus the zip drive.
