I sold my C64 in 1988 or 1989 I think, upgraded to an Amiga then, which I still have.

Anyways, back to the thread.

I had an Amiga 500, it kicked ass too.

I have a few computers on my home LAN right now. Here's the specs for the one I'm on now:

Overclocked celery 300a running at 450mhz
256 megs RAM
8 gigger
6.4 gigger
Nvidia TNT-2
Soundblaster AWE64
Altec Lansing speakers with a woofer
52X Cd-rom
4X burner
19" Hitachi SuperScan Elite 751

The commodore is long gone but I do have a 486sx/25 I'm using as a gateway.

I'll be getting a new box soon. Probably similar to Warik's, maybe a faster CPU and a half gig of RAM though. It's amazing how cheap they have gotten.
