Well, if we're gonna wax nastolgic.......
I have a 386 MB running an overclocked processor (300 whopping Mhz) and it has
a Vesa Local Bus HDD/FDD controller card that has a 286 processor and 1 MB of
memory. When you click Save (even on a big file) the pointer Icon just
twitches, seldom do you ever see the hour glass.

Hey, I remember Tri-Star ... that's where I bought my first PC. I recall
the salesman having to explain to me what a VESA local bus was. Before
that I was using an old IBM AT donated to the school I was at. Will
never forget how I paid $200 to upgrade from a 1 MB to a 2MB hard drive,
and figured I was set for life. :) -Dan
