First Computers (was Re: [SunRescue] Yay, I don't feel...)

[Joshua D. Boyd]

My first was a Toshiba T/100 CPM machine.  It had a 16 color display and
dual 5 1/4" drives.  Then went to a 386sx with 1 meg of ram and a 40 meg
harddrive in 90.  The toshiba was sold by my parents, and the 386 was
traded towards a replacement 486sx33 with 4 megs of ram in 94.  I still
have that 486, but it is a dx2/66 now, and it has 28 megs or ram (down
from a high of 56).  It is sitting waiting for me to configure it as a
router for DSL.
