THATS WHY THEIR LOGO WAS COW PRINT
Adjusting for inflation, the tower would be $10,120.84 in today money. The amount that compute has fallen over the decades is incredible. We can manufacture supercomputers that live on our wrists compared to 1988. This, and health science, are probably the only two things that I love about being alive today.
duuuuuude this was my first non apple machine. the turbo button pushed it from i think 12 or 14 to 16mhz
fav memories:
- spent many nights groomin the 40mb hard drive for storage space...
- so many TSRs!
- my first database
- first downloaded porn from local BBSs
- banner printing on an old panasonic tractor-fed dot matrix printer
- first voice synth! trying to get it to pronounce vowels/complex words was fun at the time
The turbo button actually slowed a machine down, not up. Common misconception.

I am stealing "grooming the hard drive."
make sure you park the hard drive before shutting down.
