my first comp
my first comp
my first computer i got in 1988, when i was 4. it was a Leading Edge brand 4.77 MHz 8088 (without a x87 coprocessor) with an ultra-leet CGA graphics board.
i remember playing games like Janitor Joe (aka Jump Joe) and pacman on that thing with an old school Kraft brand joystick. i also used a word processor program called Electric Desk quite often. anybody remember that program? i don't know how popular it was.
the next comp i had was a 12 MHz 80286, which incidentally was also a Leading Edge. that's when i finally got a VGA card hehe. i remember playing Ultima 6 for hours and hours on that system.
