First real pc was some old apple, i dont have the specs but theres a pic of it somewhere and it suckedso bad. This was before we even had aol i think. It took like an hour to load paint, and when you moved the cursor outside of the paint box, it crashed and was a pain in the ass to get working again.

I'll find out specs and a pic if i can. hehe. dumb thing.

[NickS]

Thats what a mac gets you. Hour load times for paint and crashing .
