Comments on: New Computer! Pentium 150 mhz! http://webdesign.timches.com/2009/07/28/730/new-computer-pentium-150-mhz/ Commentary on Life by Tim Malabuyo, Web Designer Guy Mon, 26 Dec 2011 16:24:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tim http://webdesign.timches.com/2009/07/28/730/new-computer-pentium-150-mhz/#comment-1295 Tim Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:01:36 +0000 http://webdesign.timches.com/?p=730#comment-1295 The 3-cd changer sounds cool, but in reality it ended up being a pain. It took forever to change cds, and you forget which cds are in there after a while. While my family had this state-of-the-art beast at home, I took the old 486 DX/66 to college. I had to connect with the external 14.4 modem since Simpson College didn't have broadband yet. Brandon, I remember huddling around your 386 with friends and playing Wolfenstein 3d! That is, when we weren't on AOL. The 3-cd changer sounds cool, but in reality it ended up being a pain. It took forever to change cds, and you forget which cds are in there after a while.

Seriously though a 3-CD changer? What luxury! My favorite feature of my first computer was the turbo switch that kicked it up to 16 MHz from 12! Seriously though a 3-CD changer? What luxury!

I'm impressed that you had a 3-CD changer. That was definitely an awesome step up from a 486. I remember when we first got to Davao I was the envy of everyone since I was the only one with a Pentium computer (that one was 66 MHz, one of the first to come out). Ha ha!
