Dell was on fire during the 90's. Gateway started to flounder later on in the 00's. Use to work for them until I was made redundant, they had some cool stuff under development that we had a sneak look at, at the time.

Had a Commodore 486-sx25 back in the day was a couple of $1000 and later on bought a Sound Blaster card for $500, top of the line stuff. NZD of course.

Was a huge leap up from my A500, although have more of a bond with the A500 and missed that more when I sold it.

This was my baby

http://www.richardlagendijk.nl/cip/computer/item/pc486sx25/en

Was installed by a guy from David Reid at the time, and I could remember thinking to myself I wanted and could do his job a lot better.

Ran a BBS on it for years, if I could rewind time I would.

LOL compare that to my existing machine http://www.sony.co.nz/product/sve17115fg .... man we've come a long way :-)
