My Friend Has The Shitest Computer Ever

[gumbydancin]

I have an old pentium 166 that's still running like a champ. I use it as a server computer most of the time, but it runs windows 2000 beautifully, and not that slow. 192 mb ram, 3gb hdd, 4mb shared video memory, impressive right? I use as a dedicated p2p download computer sometimes too. It's networked with my other pc's so when things are done coming in on it's 768 kilobit line I just transfer them to the others. Runs like lightning I tell ya!

Ouch! I feel for you.

I hope you have learned and that the next one you get is not one of those preassembled computers. Build your own next time. You will end up with a much better machine.

I saw a computer with 10MB HARD DRIVE SPACE.


It was mac. Monitor was like 9"

My science teacher was giving them out for free. Nobody wanted it

My dad has a BBC microcomputer from the 80s (or was it 70s). I tried some basic programming on it but got bored because the tape recorder didn't work and the ram just wiped every time you switched it off so I couldn't save my programs.

OOPS sorry didn't see how old this thread was!
