I've been reading this site since the very beginning. Build my first 486 system in 1993 so I could play Doom and Strike Commander.

As have a lot of us. So?

Oh, cute, you built your first 486 and think that somehow gives you cred.

Boyo, my first "computer" was a Microdata 3200 out in the garage that I connected to via a Wyse WY60 terminal. I got the 3200 as basically a cabinet and the power supply with a couple of barely populated boards. The rest I had to hand wire, solder, and flash the EEPROMs, that I had to source and buy, myself. Then I had to write custom Pick objects to take advantage of the few kilobytes of words (not the literary kind) it could save for recall later.

You know what that means? Absolutely fuck and all.

I've owned, and driven, a 1933 Model B with a flathead V8. That also means fuck and all. It just means I've lived long enough to participate in the use of early technology.
