i think it was a windows 95- i remember those huge floppys tho... and that crap printer paper. i used to play games through dos
toonstruck-streetfighter-command and conquer
Man, those printers were horrible, I remember when I was in Elementary school, the computer labs consisted of late Windows 95 and the first edition 98. Anyway, I remember hearing the printer "EEK!" "Pop!" "EEK!" "BUZZ", that thing shook the whole table that it was on and made that horrible screeching noise that just went back & forth. I guess that is called a line printer? And then, I would go over there to get my work from the printer and you had to tear that stuff off along the preforated line after it printed. Sometimes that crap was difficult to tear and you would tear up your work, the teacher would get all pissed, you would have to reprint and hear a lecture.
Sorry, just some memories.

Heh, those were the prices.
My first PC was an old 8008, with the old black and orange screen. Some random DOS oriented OS with Test drive and golf as games.
However, the family PC was a 4004...so old, it was slow to boot.
Then, the real serious PC I had a a 486 66MHZ that lasted til 2002.
