Anything was better than the 4 color CGA! I think by 1990 I was running a 386 with 4 MB of RAM and an 80 MB hard drive and VGA graphics. 4 years later I would spend $256 to double that RAM. I don't even think I was using Windows 3.1 yet, hard drive was too small. Well heck I thought EGA graphics (16 colors!) was great. Anything was better than the 4 color CGA!

It was a Pentium I processor and I can't remember the MHz but it was like 100 or something, running Windows 3.1 then Windows 95 at some point. 16MB of RAM 4GB Hard Drive And let me tell you it was awesome... back then... kind of. Crazy stuff how far technology has come. Dude, I remember when I had my first PC back in the 90’s.

I guess with the 3.5 floppy drive and the interface it was kinda ahead of it time. I recall we had these in our Student Activities Office back from 1994-1997. I always wondered why they had external hard drives, now I understand. :roll:
