me a Packard Bell 486SX 25 MHz, 4MB of Ram, 256 colors, Win3.1, 2x CD-ROM, TV-Turner etc. Ahh,
the fond memories of that machine, the long nights & the early mornings. That was good machine until
around 1995 until I upgraded every component but the motherboard.
HDD and a 14 inch monitor, therefore building my first custom built computer. That’s about when it started to get insane.
Years pasted and decades kept rolling and somewhere along the lines I ended up at the top of the page.
