I had one of those computers. It was a great machine for its time — too bad Commodore was so inept.

Don't light a match.. or their heads will explode in a fireball. Just ask Michael Jackson about that one.

Had myself an Amiga 3000 at one point. My mom wanted to start a video production business so the thing was loaded. Video Toaster, Lightwave, Deluxe Paint IV, DTV, sound editing software (can't remember the name), etc, etc.

...and of course, Shadow of the Beast III.

Sadly, the business never got off the ground and I learned my first real lesson in computer depreciation.

I had the Tandy 1000( I think they named it that because thats how much it cost, with no peripherials).
Everything looked like an Andy Warhol painting with its CGA 4 color graphics.

So I bought a $200.00 dollar ATI wonder card at Eggheads only to find out I also needed a $ 400.00 Vga monitor.
I added a 10 meg Hardcard for $400.00 because I realized I needed a hard drive to save stuff and use a "menu" program ($30.00). I also added some kind of card that would double my speed to 14 mhz, I think it cost $400.00 also.
I then dropped in a 2400 baud modem for a little over a $120.00.

All this because I knew that the local BBs had a couple of hundred porn pictures that I could download for free. ...I feel stupid now.
