Tis the season for aggravation, so you're in good company. Glad to
hear you
got it taken care of. Don't spend that entire 47MB all in one place. ;-)

Probably not; that's a pretty good chunk of space :-)



That is.

I have a 286 in my closet with a 20 meg MFM drive.

I have Windows 1 ,2 and 3.0 installed on it!

That's not my old 12MHz one, is it :-) I had one that came with a 20MB HDD
AND a printer!! Woohoo, we cookin' now LOL. It had DOS4, then I went to
DOS6, then Win3.1. That was my first Windows.

Funny how hard drives and operating systems have evolved, isn't it? I
remember buying a 600MB Seagate for some ungodly price, and thinking that it
would be the last HDD I'd ever need. Yeah, right :-)

It's a Zenith Data Systems that came with 512k of RAM.

I got it long after it was obsolete for my little computer museum.


My first PC was a p-1 with an 850 meg drive

and when I got a 2gig drive...I got very nervous when I held in in my
hand and had no idea what I was going to do with all that space!
