I don't ever wanna hear you young ninjas crying about spending 1500 to build your PC nowadays. I had to pay 25% interest just so I could get a computer good enough to process this.

"job's done!"
"what you want me kill?"
"LOK TAR!"

I used to play this shyt faithfully on AOL for like $1.99/hr, getting in trouble for having the bill so high.

It's crazy how far PC gaming has come, I'm old enough to remember localized message boards, and playing Never Winter Nights on AOL online with my White Castle earnings But I could only afford a couple of hours a week and moms got mad because I tied up the phone lines.

back in the 80's, my pops would occasionally bring this "laptop" home from the office to do extra work. I mean u couldn't play games or go on the internet on that thing. it didn't even have oregon trail or nothin. that damn computer was worth over $3000

Those old desktop towers would run forever.
I know my father still has one he had built in1996 and he got a good 10+ years out of it just through upgrading ram/hard drives and peripherals. He went from floppy to Tape backup to Zip Drive to CD Rom DVD Rom all running windows 95 and 98 lol.

Sh!t, I kept my custom build PC from 1998 running until may of 2010 just out of spite.(and it cost over 2k ) I finally gave up on it when I couldn't find a fan/heatsink card for my Pentium 3, the fan bearings got so loud eventually. I was still able to use it a my music server all the way till the end, when I moved and didn't want to make space for a proper desk at my new place. I've been laptop exclusive since. I think about getting a iMac whenever i see one tho

I started buiding my own in 96 thanks to that thick ass newspaper magazine computer shopper ... not the thin magazine we got today..

LOL. at store bought machines with 1000 worth of last years software.. thats why it was always "free"

I still got my 30 floppy disk edition of office somewhere in the house... I still got my Japanese PS1 and my modded PS1 in the basement with my 500 disc cd holder filled with games.. and they both work but i do have to turn the US PS1 upsidedown though.
