My girlfriend got her machine in 1995 (a Packard Bell). When she got a new
machine in 1999, I got my first computer...
her old Packard Bell.
The first time I got on-line I was nervous as hell because I had no idea
what I was doing and I had paid in advance for one year of dial-up service
....$100 !!!
All I thought was that I had wasted my money because I'd never get the hang
of it!
As it turned out the win95 browser, IE2 was part of my problem...and after a
4 hour download for IE5, I was all set.
Within a year I had the machine upgraded from a P-75 with 8 megs of RAM and
an 850 meg HD...
To an overdrive 200 mhz cpu 128 megs of ram and a 20 gig HD dual booting
win98se and Linux Red Hat 6
Even when I eventually got a better machine I still used the PB as a spare
for many more years and finally retired it a few years back. I put it back
to it's original state when I put it into storage.
