Hello, y'all! My Intro:
1. 1989 Tandy 1000-EX, 256K RAM upgraded to 640K, 5Mhz AMD processor, 1 360K FDD, Seagate 40Mb external HDD and DOS 2;
2. 1994 Packard Bell 25Mhz AMD, Win 3.1 (DOS 5);
3. 1998 No Name Tower 700Mhz AMD, 512Mb RAM, Win 98;
4. 2001 AOpen 900Mhz AMD, Win 98 & XP (I don't remember how many DDRs I had to put in it);
5. 2014 HP 1.5Ghz AMD64, 4GB (3.85 usable?) RAM, 500GB HDD, Win 8.1.
The Tandy still worked the last time I plugged it up (2005), the PB died a little at a time, the No-Name was given away, still working, the AOpen died of power supply failure (ATA, not SATA), this HP has nothing wrong with it except it can't 2 gigs this and 4 gigs that. Linux desktops and Bash don't look unfamiliar, just a little strange - a little like Win 3, actually. I'm not a "power user", my computer is my personal library with mp3s and mp4s of all sorts and recipes using html2 (FrontPage Express from Win98 1st ed.) and jpegs (MS ImageComposer1.5). Maybe now LL will be an OS that won't outgrow the computer. So, a really big Thank You Jerry!
