Do You Remember when Computers Looked Like This?

Actually my first VDU terminal looked better than that!

Any more grotesque pictures from the era of bad design?

haha, I was only young when they looked like that, they took their time evolving into their master class designs now though, god! lol :)

As i was getting out of my car the other day I saw a lady dumpster diving. She had a PC and gave it to me. I took it home, cleaned it up and plugged it in. It works! An old Compaq P2, w' a 3.2 GB HDD and 160 MB memory. Windows 95. That to me was ancient. It has a big NIC, AGP video card and sound card. still haven't figured out how to get online with it.

I dont think windows 95 supports broadband lol.

Is that an E-Mac at the top? College I go to has many on display for all to see *shudders*

I had one of those, not a PC but it was about the size of a switchboard..

Windows 95? Wow, thta's a new computer. I have one here (one of the original Pentiums) with Windows 3.11 on it.

Only way you will get online with the Win95 machine is dial up.

Really? no dsl? it has a nic w' a cat 5 cable. Maybe that was for local networking only? I'm trying to figure out something I can use this machine for.

As far as I know, Win 95 was never adapted for broadband. Probably because it was one of those things that would never catch on, much like the computer lol. It might work on broadband but I cant see it tbh..
