Ran 8.1 last night for the first time in a long time. Man, I have a ton of nostalgia for the 8.X aesthetic that I didn’t even realize I had. A bunch of the computers at school when I was a kid must have been running it is my guess

“Air” should at least be standardized. On the MacBook it means the least powerful, but also physically smallest model On the iPad it means more powerful than the base unit and has nothing to do with size, really On the iPhone and Mac, they call the smallest model the Mini, not the Air It’s weird.

I had a model similar to this one, bought at about the same time. Mine didn't have a sound card, though. My parents bought it, so I don't remember a price exactly, but I don't recall it being anywhere near as expensive. They did get it from Walmart and it's quite possible they had some super duper cheap version there but with similar specs. The modem was a 14.4. Didn't complain because the modem on the previous computer was 2400 baud. Within a year, Dad had to buy 2 gigs of storage space.

Nice and easy to transplant, plus you get to watch das blinkenlights. (At speeds as high as 2400 bps, I could tell the difference between xmodem and zmodem file transfers just by watching the send and receive lights.)

Most internal cards were softmodems anyway. External modem supremacy!

I have nostalgie for the 90s multimedia and early WWW aesthetic. It really did seem like everything was possible without even having to leave your desk. Now that everything IS possible it's like "no, please stop, that's too many possibilities and a lot of them are bad"

Oh hai look what I brought today:  It has been used, or at least the plastic protective case has been opened on the CPU. And it is missing the cool Pentium Pro case label. Got another Pentium Pro 200 from the same seller, however it was the CPU only, nothing else. I wonder what the chances of me finding a Pentium Pro motherboard these days
