My mother bought a PC while she was in college, was a 66MHZ intel 16MB ram and a 250? MB hard drive, and I believe it cost her around $5000 with her college discount, had Windows3.11 wfw and dos 5 or 6, when she played solitaire on it, it took almost 2 to 3 seconds for the cards to change after clicking on one with the mouse, and the cards didn't move like today with the fancy animated graphics, it took that long for the card to disappear from the old position and reappear at the new one, and I thought that was the ultimate machine and nothing would ever be faster. <img src=smilies/magbiggrin.gif>

Acura, the car of choice for the demanding deerhunter with the new and brighter halogen headlights now making deer jacking an art unto itself. <img src=smilies/biggthumpup.gif>
