This is awesome, check this post I made in February last year: http://www.nostatus.com/uncategorized/02-2006/you-think-you-got-ui/

It’s pretty much what I was talking about. Good thing about finding your post was that I got to delete a stupid part of that post because the old video plugin I used to use was WACK!

“this was a top of the line, monster Personal Computer”
Joking? Most 286 had a hard drive at this time. And a mouse. And a co-processor (this looks like a SX). This T4000 just offers a more powerful CPU that no OS was able to use.

[...] 1. Take your business seriously. Scrap the dreams of making six figures working an hour a day 5 days a week. That day can come, but until then, set your goals and work, sleep, work until they happen. Everything else takes a back seat. A perfect quote from Quadzilla — “You’re in the right industry. You’re in it at the right time. You’re in it while search is still in its infancy.” Don’t pass up on the biggest opportunity of generations because your school guidance counselor says this isn’t real. [...]

I can assume I am one of the younger people on here (I am old enough to buy beer, but not old enough to have worked in the .com boom). My mom’s ex husband bought a computer when I was in jr. high, and he paid thousands for it (it had 2gb of storage). The worst part was he basically only used it for word docs, and never let me use it. When I entered high school I got a compaq, and they had hard drives up to 20gb I think (which were too expensive and according to my parents I would never use that much space). In my closet I have all of those old hard drives 20-80gb that died or ran out of room and I upgraded. 1tb drives exist now, and I am fairly certain most of us on here could fill it up quickly. I am still waiting for a new way (besides flash) to store data that I was promised ages ago.

One of my buddies in HS was the first out of all of us to upgrade to a 486/66. I remember him navigating through a huge directory in DOS and saying “did you see how fast the screeen scrolled down after I did a dir?” And I remember me not being able to respond because my mouth was stuck open in shock. What a loser I was

I can’t believe folks paid 3G almost 20 YEARS AGO for a PC. That’s like 5G in today’s standards. That’s like Edward Stratton III /Philip Drummond type money…
