It's "How Old a Computer Hast Thou" you nut!

And, had my current one since 2001, though it was made in 1999.

Hmm, well, I have a working C64 from about the 1983~84 time frame. A C128 from 1986, a few Amiga 500's from 1987 on, in various states of disrepair, but a couple of functional ones ;)

I had my Win95 OSR2 since 1998. The sales person told me if I waited a couple of months Win98 would come out. I should have waited. I guess I went ahead with Win95 because my old Win3.1's CPU burned out and I couldn't live another day without a PC. *sigh.*

I've had my current machine since I built it in January 2002.

The oldest machine I have is a Commodore 64 from the early 80's.

Old thread is ooooooolllllllldddddd

Henyhoo, I have a Gateway Tablet Laptop, 1.7 mhz, 512 RAM [next paycheck I'll get more, maybe], gotten late 2006, and that's for most anything that I want to do, does most anything I want.

If I want some serious DOS gaming done though, I have an IBM Aptiva 486, 66 mhz, 64 mb RAM, circa 1994, and plays any DOS game I want if I try hard enough,

I have two IBM 5150's with IBM 5151 green monochrome displays. One has a Hercules card, both have 20MB hardcards.

I also have two IBM 5160 XT's, both with IBM 5153 CGA displays. One is an early model XT with 256kB on the motherboard, an expansion card to 640kB, and a 10MB Seagate ST-412. The other is a late model XT with 640kB on the motherboard, a 20MB WD25 hard drive and IBM 'enchanced' keyboard.

Then there is the Amstrad PC1640 (8MHz XT clone), that has a 30MB hard drive and EGA display.

I like my 8088/8086's :D
