I went over to my grandmothers house to use her computer printer, because mine is out of ink. I turned on her computer and saw the most disgusting thing possible. This women is still running WINDOWS 95 I don't even think the processor was more then a pentium 1 or 2. I was like what the hell!!!! Then to make matters worse, she uses dial up for the internet. I swear to god it took atleast 5 minutes to load the page I needed to print. Then to make matters even worse I could not print a word document I needed to print because she is still using microsoft works version 4.0. This is an outrage!!!

My nan thought elvis had just died. Grandmothers say the funniest things.

You know, that setup was the bomb back in 1994!

How quickly we forget.

Makes me wonder what they're gonna be saying about the pentium M in the next 10 years.

What's even funnier (and scarier) are the advertisements you see for those systems from back then.



...and it doesn't even include the damn monitor and mouse!

I got a computer as a wedding gift from my best man in '93. My good ol' IBM PS2: 486 processor 25MHz, 4MB RAM, and 120MB hard drive.

Oh you got jokes again.....

In high school we had commodore 64s. I think the 64 meant 64mH processor or maybe 64kB of RAM?
In 92 I had a Mac LC with 10mB hard drive and 80mB hard disk. I gave it to my sister when I upgraded it and a year later she put it out on the kerb on hard rubbish day. It cost me $4000 and it really hurt when I heard she through it out
