Hi Sarkast,

O.K., you got me on that one. First time I ever fibbed (if you believe that, you are worse than I am).

I admit it, I started with the old Commodore 16, then commodore 64, then Radio Shack machines, and then went to heaven with the old (did I say that) 286 models. When I got my first 486. was glad to part with that 2000 bucks (my wife about died on that one) for that screaming machine. And, in that time, 2000 bucks was a chunk of change. My next was the Pentium Pro 200....wow, what a machine that was...and the rest is history...enough of them I can't count anymore because I got the fever and started building them myself. Anyhow, I do understand about the 486 machines and will (not) promise to never tell a fib again. Have a great evening.

Mark

Addendum: Missed the old 386, not a good machine, and later an Apple II, a McIntosh before I stuck with IBM compatibles, plus every OS since the old, early, and many DOS versions, win 3.1, win95, win98, win98se, winME, winXP and here I still am with XP Pro. Anyway, you get the picture and the age.
