Working in a thrift store allowed me to tinker with many old computers, which I would try to fix up and get ready to sell.

I don't really have much of a collection, but I do have a NOS, still in the box Packard Bell computer from c. 1996, and a c. 1993 Gateway computer that was made in the USA and built like a tank. I put a maxed out 486 motherboard in it, and it runs 3.1/95. I use it for vintage gaming or when I want that early Windows experience.

My main computer, when I'm home on break, is one I built new in 2005 and has Windows 98SE on it. I haven't upgraded it, since it's lightning fast and there are patches out there that allow me to run the latest version of most software. Plus viruses/spyware are no longer an issue as nobody makes them for 98 anymore, lol.
