    Oldest Computer ...

    A random thought crossed my mind today- try to see if people have older computers than I do.

    Apple IIe running AppleDOS 3.3.

    There's an old box in my basement that runs 95. Haven't turned in on in a few years though.
    Code:
    while true; do echo -n "RiceMonster "; done
    Best thread ever

    Someday we'll hit the human carrying capacity. And the band will just play on. -Me

    I'm trying PHP, so my code can probably be labelled "bad and insecure"

    I've got an old Gateway 2000 P5-200 from 1996 that has a crippled, although bootable, copy of Windows 95 installed on. Specs are: 200 MHz Pentium I, 32 MB of RAM, 4 GB of HDD. I want to find a use for the machine again, but even a Linux CLI install wouldn't do so well. When I do another round of updates on my desktop this summer I'll end up with a spare 20 GB HDD that might let me use it as a small server, but even then I'm not so sure it'll be very useful...
    My Laptop: Gateway T-6330u, 2.0 GHz Pentium Dual-Core, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD - Ubuntu 14.04
    My Desktop: Lenovo IdeaCentre K450, 3.2 GHz Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 2.5 TB HDD - Windows 8.1, Ubuntu 14.04 in VM

    Were those newer than the 64s' or just a better model?
