    I had Prodigy for a little while, then AOL, then after upgrading to a 486 and 14.4kbps went to a local dial-up ISP.

    An earlier version of this page http://phantasy-star.net/ [phantasy-star.net] had a discussion board on it. That's where I found out about these nifty things called "emulators." That got me into assembly language, import console games, and later the Japanese language.

    Nice rig.

    My first home computer Z-80A 4MHz w/ 4k of RAM, with dip switches to enter a program. Built the motherboard with sockets and wirewrap. Now that was learning to program.

    My current oldest is 486sx25 with 12MB RAM and 213MB disk.
