Ahh, just to think, our first family computer had a turbo button that switched from 100mHz to 16mHz, running on a modified Windows 3.1 so you had switchable user desktops (different icons for different people), and 2gig of HD space?

I remember the first time I saw Windows 3.1 on a color screen...the first time I saw Windows, my dad had an IBM Thinkpad with a monochrome screen, the only thing I had used before was DOS on a PC Jr...:D

And now kids are getting cell phones in elementary school :(

Had the Apple IIe's for first couple years of grade school for typing. You know your 'ballin when you have dual 5.25" floppy drives. :D

Our first family computer had a C1P processor, which if I recall correctly was the first 1MHz machine. We had a 32mb hard drive with it as well, but the hardrive was about 2x the size of a standard microwave.

Not entirely sure wtf I'm doing, but I'd like to make a bi-radial type horn with a low end cutoff somewhere under ~800hz.

Actually not old enough yet, you will have to wait for the next election.

don't you have to be 40 to be Pres?

IIRC 35, so I didn't make the cut this year. And HEY ASSHOLE, I won't be 40 in 4 years.

I know you're not that old, that's why I was confused.

But yeah, it is 35 for Pres., 30 for Senate

Hell, I just want it for the garage. I hate the fact I cannot do jack squat on the cars between October and March.
