Why can’t we get banana milkshakes at McDs over here in the land of the free?

All 10 of them?

A friend of the family built it for us. I think it was ‘96 or so. I was maybe 13 or 14. I had used computers a little at school and at friends’ houses.

It was a pc clone that ran win95. Cyrix p166 cpu (which actually ran at 133 mhz), 16 mb of EDO RAM, 800ish MB hard drive, a 4x cd rom drive and a 33.6k modem. I loved that thing and learned everything I could about how it worked.

We didn’t have internet access at first, so I started dialing in to local BBSs. I eventually found a local board running wildcat that shared it’s ISDN internet connection to users. And I would download pornographic images and save them to floppy disks to sell at my all boys catholic high school.

Kde connect is wonderful

I wish I could update this twice.

Maybe be thankful that you didn’t get it. I wish I didn’t.

Says the guy who was probably born on September 6.

Same! Now I hate pooping anywhere but home.

Show us the plumbing under the sink!

Please report back with the outcome. I’m edging over here.
