When I left home for college, I planned to take my heavily, hackily upgraded
386 (actualy a Cyrix Cx486DLC) along
with me. It had two full-height ESDI hard drives, and the weird, exposed
ribbon cable on the back of one broke about two weeks before I left home. I
quickly sold a bunch of things I owned, begged some cash from my dad, and
purchased an AT&T mid-tower (a Globalyst, which later became an NCR line).
This Pentium 90MHz, marvin
, lasted through most of college, and was finally
replaced by a Compaq that looked good in the store but turned out to be a real
pain.
