My first computer exposure was with a 'dumb' HP terminal in 1988/9 at GE. Then in about 1990 we went to some version of an IBM - which was only a minor step above the 'dumb' terminal as we still were not on the WWW until 1991. I then had a buddy build me a computer with 16mb of RAM and a tiny hard drive - and was that hot!! Now - I build my own. I still don't understand much of what make 'em tick, but they usually work just fine with 4Gb RAM, 1Tb worth of hard drives, nice AMD mobos, a 4-500watt ps and a couple of laser readers (and of course - a 3.5" floppy).........all it seems to just to fix and store pictures and surf the internet.
