Here comes kids with computer written reports done in Microsoft Word 97' on a Pentium I or II running Windows 9x, in pretty fonts, and then here come's ole' Creeping Net, tearing the pinfeed edges off of his book report as he wanders into class.
In '94 I handed in an assignment created on the family Apple IIe and a Star Gemini II 9 Pin Dot Matrix, Cant remember which clip art software I used.
My teacher asked what computer was this created on with genuine interest which is why I can still remember it.
It defiantly stood out against the standard majority of MS Works document printed on ink jets.
Had that experience too. Had to write a short story for English class and my teacher told me all about his IBM PC AT he had in 1990 when he was going to Auburn University. That Tandy was really my gateway to this hobby, not four years later I was already rummaging thrift shops for 386's and 486's for $5-10 apiece and "kit bashing" them together.
I don't think I owned anything "modern" until 2008 when I built a really cheap gamer box - the Video Card on that thing was most of the cost (NVIDIA 8800GT)
