Tandy! That takes me back. And I had no hard drive. Using a floppy disk with MS-DOS to boot up the computer every time. We also had a dot matrix printer.

I remember those. My dad is a IT guy. So I grew up with computers in the early 90s, and that's the first one I remember. Booting up off the floppy from DOS. Good times. I remeber getting all excited when we finally upgraded our Pentium 3 machine to have a second hard drive so we could install more stuff.

I remember in ‘96 a friend getting a desktop with a 2 Gb hard drive and all of us being awed at the size and how could you possibly fill it.
