You ever play Catz 3? That was one of my favorite games back in the day.

I see you got a Dell Quietkey, but where is the Model M?
Did you cause an earthquake with it?

I sold my model M a while ago for $90
And I got this Dell keyboard for free, along with a couple other keyboards.

Those were beginning around the time I was little, but I never got into them. Did you play Where in the World is Carmen San Diego or Mathblaster?

I’d say yes, but space is a concern right now. I’ve been trying to get rid of a Dell thing (read: let it sit there and only think of throwing it away). So yet another would probably be a bother...
Thanks anyway!

I’m having a nostalgic crisis right now.
I remember when we were upgrading the family PC to Windows XP. I hated it because it didn’t have the maze screensaver.

Nice! Both my grandparents and my aunt had one of these (well, a T500). I remember using them a lot, and enjoying how much faster they were than our computer at the time!
The speakers that these came with were/are awesome!

Those were great speakers! As you can see, I still use the ones that came with my dad’s XPS T450 and T550 from 1999... those machines are long gone, but reborn again sort of since someone gave me his old machines.

I used to almost make a living out of PCs like this before... When my college threw them away, they threw away hundreds of them. I went into the garbages and helped myself. Re-selling them on craigslist, even offering delivery and installation.
Re-selling them 50 to 150$ depending on what I had gotten + the occasionnal delivery/installation, I made over 2000$ a month selling those things I was getting for free lol. When you’re a poor foreign college student, it’s huge!!

Depends if I have time. If work ends up being busy I’ll just buy an Oculus rated Asus or maybe a gaming laptop. I’ve always had a big laptop, I don’t move it around enough to care about size and when I go to Japan I like a big screen because it is my TV too.

I still have Altec Lansing speakers but mine is bigger and is a total Bose cube knock off. But great sound, even my Marine Corp damaged ears know it’s a good speaker system, base is nice, I use it for TV/ everything.

Altec Lansing made some great speakers.
