    I probably played half those games. Those were the days. I remember my friend getting a computer with a gig(!) of hardrive space and Warcraft 2 ran so good on his comp.

    The 90s. The wonder years.

    That 4mb memory expansion would really have boosted my 486x PC.

    Nice find.

    Edit: I still play WarCraft 2 sometimes. Still fun.

    I remember overclocking my 486 DX66 to a 486 DX80 and thinking that I had the fastest computer on the planet.

    Crazy to think Jurassic Park was made with tech from the early 90s.

    This is another example of your geekdom! I was banging girls at the clubs in the mid-90's, NOT playing on my computer!

    I just saw the pager! It can hold 30 whole messages! I used to tell the honeys,"Hip me on my hip"! For you nerds, that means if you need to get a hold of the HCP, just page him!
