This was ages ago, back around '95 or so. I had been thinking about getting one for awhile, but had been unable to afford it. But after countless times where I had to go back in to work because something blew up in the middle of the night, going another couple grand into debt didn't seem so bad.
I ended up buying a Packard Bell (I didn't know any better at the time) for about $2000. Back then, those cheap $300 Dells you see at Wal-Mart didn't exist.
You don't have to remind me. I paid $2500 for my Gateway P120 in 1995 as my high school graduation gift to myself. Was the fastest computer money could buy. Too bad it was out of date by my JR yr in 1998.
