i actually was really lucky and my parents got me a brand-new computer for christmas when i was 13. it was some NEC tower, with a pentium 2, a DVD-ROM drive (!!!), 8 gigabytes of hard drive space, 64 megabytes of RAM, 17" monitor, and they even threw in a microsoft force feedback joystick. just absolutely incredible.

in retrospect i wonder how much that was driven by my dad wanting me to stop bugging him to use his computer to play all the games my old 486 couldn't handle

yeah absolutely. my computer came bundled with Total Annihilation and i remember some early LAN parties with my friends where there were certain maps we couldn't choose because their computers didn't have enough RAM.

i remember years ago i grabbed a couple of 15k scsi drives off ebay without realizing they had 80 pin connectors instead of 68 pin, so i wound up grabbing a couple of 80-68 pin adapters. looked janky as heck but it worked lol
