Are you proud?

Anyone still habe their original 2000? Nah, not me.

It's kind of cool, but was a weird dud in some ways. Especially considering it's weird video chipset.

You know what? I got one of these back from my dad's office, when I was a teenager.
But I also had a 386, so I neglected the Tandy and I suppose it ended up in a dumpster landfill after a house moving :\
Sometimes I think about it and regret it, but telling it here allows me to atone for that sin..
So yes, it was a nice comp as I remember, could run the BASIC and launch some games designed to work on ASCII or low def (maybe 320x200 max), under its "powerfull" cpu 😀

Does your screen name reference a country or lettuce?

Not so far: France
But nothing to do with Romania 😉
Romain is just my first name (French version of Roman - Rome citizen).
I took this screen name on Vogons only.
Because I said to myself that a site like this is so magnificent (there are people like me there 🤣), that I didn't want to complicate myself to change my screen name or get tired of it over time, because I hope to be able to stay on for a long time. So I just put my first name. Here you know everything ;p

I still don't know anything about Romainian women. Except gypsies. They're all crazy!
