Then and Now...

My best guess is that this could be 1992. That is my first PC based on Intel 386DX 40MHz with 4MB RAM, 1.2MB 5.25" floppy, and I believe 500MB hard drive. I am thinking it ran DOS 3.30 at the time, but I pretty much went over all early DOS and Windows versions... I gave up my Atari 520ST and old Zastava 101 (earlier, but better version of the worst car Yugo) for that white box. Under that cloth is 9-pin Epson LX800.

This is was November. My dad got a nice AMD 64-bit dual core PC. Only purpose of this machine is to run Skype and local news from time to time. Dad had some issues with Windows freezing when Skype video was on. I put Ubuntu 8.04 on that thing and made a pretty simple desktop setup (one click to run Skype). Everything runs like it is supposed to.

I am missing the point now... Cool fact I found these pics of me in same spot... then and now...
