RIGHT! I just wrote a post saying the same thing! first Computer/Desktop I
actually BOUGHT was a Tandy 1000 SL, I was in High School. I had a summer job
and I saved as much as I could so I could buy my own PC instead of sharing my
Dad's!  This guy in a rich area, who used to call my BBS, gave me a GREAT
"deal' on a used Tandy! He was upgrading and let me have his old one for 1500!
It was only like 3 years old, and I forgot, but I knew it was worth way more
than that! I felt like I hit the lottory!  I went to his house to pick it up,
and I saw the NEW PC he just bought, If I remember, he paid a little over 3000
for it! Wish I could remember the name, but it wasn't Tandy and it was all
black and SOOO pretty! He let me play around with it for a bit, Man...I wanted
to move in, and I wanted him to adopt me!!  It was the first time I saw
Windows in action!

When I finally left (It was over hr later!) I got to setting up my new PC, and
my 'new' PC was faster than my dad's, but slower than the guy I bought it
from, That's when I got into upgrading/overclocking!

...man... PC'ing back then was so great....
