But on another note: How does kicking somebody's ass give them a bloody nose? :lol:
You just gotta kick it hard enough :lol:

Hm, I think I'll have to ask veritasium or another sciency youtube channel (maybe the slomo
guys) to do some experiments on the correlation between ass-kicking strength and nose
bloodiness. :lol:
Of course I could do it myself, but I'm very inexperienced when it comes to video production,
and I think this would warrant some proper production values.

Showing my age here, but my first pc was a Pentium 75 bought from Time Computers for the princely sum of £1,400, came with a 15" monitor, which was huge in those days! That was a lot of money in 1994.
I bought it after someone fed my Amiga beer during a party
On the subject of AMD, I remember the house brick of a cooler and Gold Finger Device on my slot A Athlon 750, to get it up to 1000mhz.
Funny thing history.

The first PC I remember using is actually a 386 33 MHz (I think) in my dad's office when I
was six or seven or so (MS paint for the win! :lol: ). Then the first one I remember being
present when we bought it was a 486 133 MHz in 1994 IIRC.

indeed :lol:Ah, slot CPUs. Funny experiment that was.
+1. Yes, I have a rather strong nostalgia streak. :wub:

Riiight, the turbo button! :rock:
IIRC, the 386 had one of those as well, the 486 not anymore.

I recall my dad using 5.25" for quite a while, lots of stuff he had for his business was stored on
those. It took a while to transition everything.
I sort of miss floppy disks, especially the 3.5" ones. They were such a big part of my childhood :wub:
Or tape drives, my dad used to have a bunch of tape drives for backing up data. God, I loved to play
with them as a boy, in out in out in out, it was pure happiness. :lol: I know they are still around,
but it doesn't really make sense to use them for me, way too expensive for a mere mortal.
EDIT:
Yeah things have gotten much more manageable in the past few years.

According to this I'd estimate somewhere between 450 and 600 USD?
I definitely don't remember personally seeing as I was rather young at the time.

I remember buying my first CD burner. It was SCSI and 12x. Cost? £170 without the SCSI card.
It had overburn technology and was the first to do so. That was why I didn't jump on the CD burning wagon for so long because blanks were £6 each and nine times out of ten you ended up with a coaster.
It was so bad that when burning a CD you had to literally not use the computer AT ALL because you would end up with buffer overflow and it would just spit the CD out.
