The times when computers were no longer big, but man were man and stuff like that.

VERY MANY LETTERS THAT CAN NOT LIKE EVERYTHING!

Sometime my first personal computer (after the ZX Spectrum, which, due to my age at that time, did not unfortunately become larger than the gaming platform) was something of German production with 486dh2-66 MHz (its AMD version); )), “Standard” 8 mb of memory, 500 mb of Maxtor (truly armor-piercing HDD), powerful (for me then) Cirrus Logic vidyuhoy with 1 mb of video (she even squeezed 1024x768, but “pulled”) and 14-inch monitor.

The most ridiculous thing was that due to the completely non-working CD-Rom and broken Windows on the screw, for quite a long time I was given over to the “tearing apart” of two floppy disks =) bootable with ms-dos (there were a couple of turbo-blown binaries brought from school ) and the second floppy disk with some kind I don’t remember right now just like a small toy. It is quite logical to assume that soon the tired of “juggling” of diskettes, of the toy that was traversed (and of the found sys c: command, which markedly accelerated the total time for passing the game =)) with might and main carried away by “passed” then at school what do I mean

And, by virtue of its limited capabilities at that time (this was the year 2000), this computer taught me one nice thing, software is not obliged, more precisely it shouldn’t EAT as much as it started to eat little by little in terms of technical requirements, thanks to that “fossil” "As others called it, I actually understood what high-quality software is, I saw such cute things as DOS text processors, Visi On and other artifacts from the era when" 4s were servers, and Pentium would create cyberspace "
')
And I didn’t regret for all this for a minute, neither about 16 color ultima 5, nor about turbopascale 7.0 (the programs of which were not launched on computers more powerful than 200 Hz due to division by zero), nor about fribsd 2.2 and turbolinux based on the 4th redhat, nor about those times when I had a downgrade to the Hercules Graphics Card, yes, yes, black and orange textmod and 720 × 348 ...
I only regret that once a year, or maybe two years ago, I lost my temper and brought you out of place due to lack of space in the garbage bin ... I hope you got into good hands, my friend ... Although hardly ... I don’t have the area ...


And what torments you nostalgic impulses associated with IT?
